Whats their favorite?

[Lizardlover]

I think we all know that chameleons are normally more particular to one feeder than another, I can tell when my chams see their favorite food their eyes light up. What are your chameleons favorite foods?

Karma: Roaches and Grasshoppers, the bigger the better, he doesn't like the rule that its supposed to be smaller than the space in between his eyes.

Titan: Superworms, cant get him to eat much else.

Rhea: She really loves anything orthoptera.

Sam: Silkworms and Hornworms, but he always enjoys a grasshopper now and then.

The Brevs: They normally only get crickets but when I give them turkestans they love them!

Thaxter the panther: superworms, but has never heard of hunger strikes and will take most feeders (he's suspicious of silkies and dubias)
Saccardo the Jackson's (RIP): supers, but also not picky
Brevs: favor crickets over melanogaster or hydei (the babies are the ones who have mainly been offered fruitflies); the adults will take sufficiently small roach nymphs or pillbugs but haven't stated a decided preference

Pan the male Veiled: Superworms, large dubia, crickets, any kind of fly, then small dubia in that order. Then any other kind of worm that is long and moves.
Isis the female Panther: Crickets so far, though she will take dubia. Wont eat fruit flies, superworms, moths, or house flies. I'm going to try small silk worms next.

Out of the 12 panthers I have 3 of them will pick silkworms and silkmoths over anything else, 2 of them prefer discoid roaches, 1 of them still loves her crickets, 2 like mantis, and the other 4 will eat anything and everything, usually whatever is closer. Those are just their favorites of what they are offered everyday though. The Brevs love the little black crickets I breed, baby mantis, and baby silk/hornworms. they don't really have a favorite and generally eat whatever is offered. During the summer every single one of them will usually eat tons of wild caught grasshoppers/locust/mantis/stick bugs/dragonflies/cicadas and not really want anything else. So in the summer I am out collecting bugs 3 times a week and cut back on the silkworm/hornworm breeding.

Rocko - Adult Ambilobe - super worms always, ocassional cricket, would not touch dubias.

All three of my guys love Blue Bottle Flies! They get googley eyes every time they see the fly cup!

Terrestrial isopods, stick insects, moths

my old man, King Orbit loves anything worm or grub-like (his tongue doesn't work good no more and wont eat any plants). Orbit Jr. loves blackberries and any bug. Gwen likes crickets and dried up lettuce. Hitler... i mean Cleopatra loves strawberries and lots of leafy greens. veileds are such picky jerks oh and they all love superworms, but only King orbit gets them all the time.

 

[Miss Lily]

Amy is a typical female veiled and will happily devour anything that moves on sight! Tommy is older and set in his ways - he loves locusts, silkworms and waxies (he won't even touch crix or supers). The only new food I've found that he will eat is silkworms, which are not very plentiful here in the UK!

 

[moody232002]

Mista loves locusts,especially adult ones.
His second is morio worms followed by green bottles.
Waxies he devoures on the rare occasion he gets one.
i am going to try him on some silkies this summer,i just realised i have a mulberry bush in the garden so i can use the leaves for food
