Hi there,
Quick question, wondering if anyone has any reasons a 1.5yr male veiled chameleon may not eat out of a feeding bowl?
Rescued 3 months ago, and Ive tried different heights, bowls, and bugs, and he will eat from the bowl, but is way more enthusiastic about hand and tong feeding, and chasing bugs around his enclosure. Will easily eat double the food when hand feeding compared to if I leave his bugs in the bowl. Even when bugs are held practically in his bowl.
Being treated for a vitamin A deficiency, so wondering if its just his aim is coming back..also seems that he doesnt like his tounge getting stuck to the bowl?
Here for behavioural advice and benchmarks only. If the behaviour is of concern, I will only be making husbandry changes suggested by my local vet and breeders, who are familiar with husbandry standards for my area. I do not take husbandry advice from forums, so please be respectful.
Thanks for your behavioural advice!
