hello all,
I am planning on purchasing my first chameleon within the next 3 months and would like your opinions on which additional feeder would be the best for chams and easiest to "keep" (either breed or keep long-term). I currently have a dubia colony, but know that additional food sources are beneficial.
I would like to work with another feeder that I can either raise or order (at reasonable cost) then easily keep for a long period of time before re-ordering. I'd like something nutritionally sound, easy to care for, and with little / no chance of escape if properly setup. I understand that superworms are probably the least healthy on this list, but have included them due to reading that many people feed them to chams as part of their regular diet and I know some people that raise them successfully.
I would greatly appreciate your thoughts regarding the palatability, ease of keeping, and escape potential of any of the feeders I mentioned.... Cost of care / keeping thoughts would be great as well. I currently spend quite a bit on organic veggies for my dubia... so that is a given, but if any of these require very expensive specific chow, that might make me bump them from consideration.
Thank you for your time and help!
