just drives me insane

[arnau666]

damn he messes with me so much !
he just fixates on one type of food !
1st were mealworms, after that cinerea, than dubia ,after that only molted dubia and now he just wants adults locusts !!!
i have mealworms,superworms,cinerea,laterallis,locusts 2 types,dubia !
he just drives me crazy with his hunger strike fixations on one specific type of food !

after veiled reach one year will they stop doing this fixations on one type of bugs? or this can happen at any age?
he wont eat any veggie , but i fooled him once and he ate a cherry.

it's so annoying isn't it, I just wouldn't put the food in that he eats, put something else in he will snap out of it in a few days and feed the veggies to your feeders then feed them to your chameleon, gut loading that way it's win win for you

 

[arnau666]

well i know how to make him eat again some feeders but sometimes he just doesnt want ! cranky little fella

no it doesn't magically go away after one year. Be glad he has not gone on a complete hunger strike where he will eat nothing!!

well i had some hopes maybe when he will be older that this behavior will stop.
Argh indeed a complete hunger strike is by far a bad experience and i hope he wont do it.
