Won't eat dubias

[voodoochild863]

My friend just got a 7mo old panther. He looks plenty big to me to eat adult dubias but he's not. Any suggestions? He cup feeds.

Maybe because the chameleon knows they're illegal in Florida. lol

Use the adults to breed and feed smaller ones. They may not take them right away but they will take them. I had a male that refused them at first but he came around and eats everything now.

Roaches that is, obviously not dubias because the powers that be threw a dart and said you can't have them in Fla.

My cham was also really stubborn and wouldn't eat any roach right off the bat. Try holding back food for a day.

Everyone's a comedian

Are they illegal to have in FL? I thought they were just illegal to sell.

My chams loved dubia roaches for just enough time for me to get a colony going, then they quit eating them. I plan on getting strict with them this winter and offering them mainly the roaches. I think I can break them if I remove all worms from their diet.
