Nutrition on Free range

[zordtaz]

I wonder how are you control nutrition for free range cricket. Mine won't eat from cup feeding or my hand at all. I also have cup feeding next to his favorite branch. I have to dump some cricket in the cage so he is stay hungry. But again, he won't get the cricket right away. At least, it took a day or 2 days or until he actually hungry.

Any suggestion? By the way, mine is around 18 weeks old.

Chameleons often go on hunger strikes, so don't be to worried if he doesn't eat for a couple days. But also that means you need to keep a close eye on them because they will start eating again after a couple days. However cup feeding normally works, what I do is i cut out a quart milk carton (i beleive) and super glued screen on the inside and hung the carton on the screen. I throw the crickets in and the don't get out. Free ranging works too, if you think the crickets won't keep nutrition just put some kale or something in the cage for them to eat while the chameleon isn't hungry. Hope this helps!

I did cup feeding from the milk jug too. Mine just stare on all the crickets in there and ignore it. Like he wonder how he can get all the crickets in there. Then he took off. I guess I have to do free range and hope he get all the nutrition.
