For blended insects this entirely depends on the insects you would be blending. I always recommend mixing high water content feeders, like silkworms/hornworms, with roughage feeders, such as crickets and roaches. Make sure all if blended well and also make sure everything is gutloaded well. I also recommend if you are doing a liquid diet for any chameleon of any species and plan to do the insect method, blend some really healthy fruits/veggies into it. Depending on the species of chameleon depends on how much you add. If they are younger always add more insect, if they are older veileds you can probably add more veggies/fruits and not worry too much about taste change, however with panthers or other purely insectivore species you probable only want to add a few slices of anything to just add some extra volume/liquid and vitamins... not change the flavor if you can help it. For two tablespoons of the mixture you add two teaspoons of repashy lod while still not adding it to the 1cc first feeding. If you are looking to add some extra weight to you cham/reptile without adding any more feedings, just throw in a few fattier feeders, such as two or three wax worms, or one or two super worms. What I like about liquid insect diets is that you can adjust it to your individual chameleon's needs. Such as with Montane's you may not want to add as much repashy lod or if you do don't feed it with the vitamins added every day... etc. I plan to switch to a liquid insect diet with more supplemental feedings of carnivore care hopefully once I have a blender purely for just the chameleons... I don't think the household would enjoy me blending bugs.
). But I am someone who will spend a couple thousand dollars on a rescue who originally cost me nothing and I know I will get generally nothing in return other than possible a 50 dollar rehoming fee. I do this because I can, I have the resources at the moment to make their lives better, and give them to a loving home who hopefully gets a long term loving member of the family in return and hopefully won't have to worry about any immediate vet care in the current future. I spend money on chameleons and force feed them for longer times than most people would like because I know a rescues potential most of the time. I have generally taken in about two chameleons and immediately put them down within a couple days. However I also have no problem with doing intensive care for 3-4 months and then just generally doing daily medicating for the rest of their recovery with me until they go their new home. I have rehomed about five chameleons like that. I have one rescue I have never rehomed and never will because she will need specialized care her entire life, as far as medicating and maybe eventually when she comes closer upon her last year or so, more cage set up stuff etc.
