How often can chameleons eat hibiscus?

[CaptainMorgantown]

Hello,
I recently feed my veiled chameleon hibiscus and she loved it. I am going on vacation for a week and I was wondering if she would be fine eating hibiscus flowers during that time. I could dust the flowers lightly with calcium if I have to, but I just thought it would be easier than taking crickets. Thoughts?

My female veileds eat hisiscus daily. Little Sadie eat the center first and then the petals. She sometimes even eats the leaves. It good for them and you could offer it everyday.

That's great news! I was worried that it might be bad for her to only eat them. I can't get her to eat any other kind of fruit or plant besides bananas, and those give her a bit of trouble. How much does your cham usually eat of the flower?

My girls eat more than just Hibiscus. They eat crickets and worms and all too. They eat several centers and about one entire flower each time they are around a hibiscus tree.

Not sure if you saw my video and pictures but here's the link to Sadie eating hibiscus.
