Took Tiny to the vet Sunday. He is very healthy but he does have an eye infection which i got eye drops for. And he also has a infection in his mouth. The vet said that bigger crickets can kick the side of thier mouth and cut them causing infection. I got oral antibiotics for him which are a...
So this morning I took a look at little Tinys eye and it's all better!!!!! He much have worked out what ever was in there. Should I still take him to the vet to get checked out?
Called a few pet stores in the area and most of the other good bugs that chameleons should be eating are illegal here or hard to get. Looking into raising my own colony of bugs. I would love to do roaches but those to are limited on the island. They have Surinam cockroaches out here. They are...
Awesome! Thank you. I'm going to read up and make some phone calls. Maybe as the vet what best things for them to eat are! Thank you guys for the quick and informative responses. I will keep everyone posted on Tinys journey and the foods we choose.

Thank you so much for the response. I was actually talking to my wife last night about possibly raiseing flies or roaches. I'm gonna do some digging today to see what else I can feed Tiny. @JacksJill are those bugs you listed ok to feed chameleons? I'm pretty sure we have roll pollies here...

Definitely look for some advice or any recommendations on how to get other types of...
Why should I not feed them meal worms? I have read a bunch of different articles that say its fine. It is pretty difficult to get some of the other food out here. The only two options that I know of are crickets and the mealies.
I live in Hawaii and have a few questions. What are you feeding your Chameleons? I am currently feeding crickets and meal worms. I want to add other things but can't seem to find other sources of food. And I was just doing a Hawaiian roll call to see how many people are on here. Hope to hear...
Thank you! I will be making calls to some vets today. I feel like my opinions are limited out here in Hawaii but I'm gonna do my best to get him seen asap!

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for helping me out. I woke up yesterday and my Jackson (Tiny Diamond) had one swollen eye. I did a ton of reading and it could be anything from debris in his eye to an infection or vitaminA deficiency. He is still eating and doesn't seem to have any vision...
