Scared of Dubias?

[matcha]

Matcha seems to be afraid of the dubias! She enjoys eating outside of the enclosure, as well as from her feeder inside the enclosure.. however when i’ve tried to feed the outside the enclosure, she just wants back in. Likewise, when i put them in her feeder, she stares at them and shows stress colors. If i take them out and switch to a cricket, she immediately eats it. Should i try again so she has a wider array in her diet, or is there something else i could try besides crickets? Photo of Matcha just because.

Make sure the Dubias are small enough for her and mix one in with some other feeders that she enjoys. For some chameleons, roaches can be an acquired taste.

One of my favorite feeders is silkworms. Grasshoppers are a fantastic feeder, but afaik, there are only two sources to get them. Kai Phan on Facebook and https://dragonhoppers.com/

i’ll have to try silkworms! she’s obsessed with super worms so i’m sure she will enjoy having a silkworm more often than she’s allowed super worms.

They are awesome little bugs and perfect for hand feeding.
