Young Jacksons won't eat

[Chamfrog87]

Hi all,

I have had my Jacksons for about 2 months now, he is about 4 months, he has been eating ok, but only Curly Wing Flies, which at the moment are hard to come by near me and the ones I have got are pupeas, so not going to hatch any time soon!
I have tried small locusts/crickets and no luck, can anyone suggest anything else or a way to hatch the flies a bit quicker?

Thanks

You could try some silkworms. get a cup of small silkies from one of our site sponsors and see if that will work.

So you are saying, he will eat, but just the flies?

Yes he has a good appetite, but only for the flies

No problem! Make sure to dump the poop out of the cup every day so they stay healthy. My chameleon goes crazy for them. I'm actually able to hand feed him silks. I think he forgets I'm even there . Hope they work out for ya!
