Eliza, fruit flies would be awesome. We already put a good sized slice of apple in there, as well as a couple of oranges (which we'll prob take out in a day or two). Hoping to get some kind of results, but yeah thanks for the comment :)
Thanks, yeah we're way excited...shooting for a perfect 19 for 19 of bringing them all to full health! Will most likely only keep one or two, so I'll see if I can't offer free Jacksons to any forum members :D
Yeah, that's awesome our kiddies have the same b-day! (seriously, what are the odds??)
And yeah, I saw Jdog's comment on your thread, he is the MAN. He will be our go-to-guy in the coming weeks!
I have them in an 18x12x24 I think?? They have enough room...for now...haha
Went outside this morning approx. 11:30AM HST and saw tons of these little guys running everywhere! Gave birth to 19, all of which survived. Some still had their sacs attached to them so I had to rinse them off. Went ahead and moved the babies into their own cage, then ran off and bought 200...
Don't have the direct link, but you should be able to find it on google....he prob climbed out cuz he hates his current habitat. One of my guys does that any time I open the door, just crawls right out onto my hand and makes a break for it, lol.
I currently own two healthy and happy female Jacksons, and just wanted to add my 2 cents...just some observations based off your posts and pics
-She appears to be about 5-6 months old in the picture. Once they reach that age range, it's best to separate them from all other chams, otherwise...
Yes, they were sterile
Only handled the ones I was feeding. I moved some of them but I used my oversized cricket tongs
No moisture or nothing...and they started dying off before I fed them carrots...which I read was okay for them. But yeah, prob 80% were dead by the time I had to resort...
I purchased 125 silkworms...decided I'd feed half to my chams, and keep the other half. So I was trying to get 60+ silkworms to cocoon, and had zero success. ALL DIED except for 2...which didn't look that great either, so I just fed 'em to my chams. Some notes:
Had them in 4 different...
