Hibiscus Eating

[JenniferAlicia]

How much is normal or acceptable for my baby to eat? She LOVES her hibiscus, shes had the hibiscus in her home since I got her. She is about 4 -5 months old.

Now she eats almost every flower, and also eats quite a bit of the leaves too. I feed her between 5 - 10 crickets, and alternate phoenix worms also. Sometimes she will search for more so I give her a few more crickets depending on her behavior.

She is misted regularly and dripper set up when I am not home to mist.

Could she just really enjoy her hibiscus or could this be an issue?


THanks

JannB's girly-cham, Camille, loves her Hibiscus too! Usually veileds are more plant and veggie eaters than other types of chams. Amy ate her schefflera and hibiscus when she was small, and now only takes an occasional bite. You could try offering her fruit, etc and see if she'll take it. My friend's cham loves banana, grapes and blueberries!

Very cool, I had heard of them eating plants and veggies.... but I had never seen it, my first would not touch, nothing could make a non bug enticing, she didn't even eat bugs unless they were moving fast. lol

Now Ziva can not get enough! I have two hibiscus plants I alternate for her so that one can get a break and re grow, lol!

My first cham wouldn't touch anything if it ddin't move either, lol! They are all so different, yet fascinating! My male won't eat anything that isn't alive either - he even eyes up small roaches with huge suspicion, lol!
