Try loaded crickets, maybe he's bored with supes. Did you find out what previous owners fed him? Not familiar with this specie, personally.

You can gut load snails with dark green leafy veggies, carrots,etc to increase their nutritional value. They're a good source of calcium, moisture and low fat protein. Flies can also be gut loaded with fruit, baby food, etc. Since you hate crickets, gutload and try to get him to eat the...

More info is needed. How old is he. Is he wild caught, or captive bred? While gut loaded crickets are probably the best staple diet item (in my opinion, of course) Jackson's are extremely fond of Blue Bottle Flies, and snails. Jackson's have slower metabolisms than that of Veileds or...

What Virgil1972 said. What kind of worms are you feeding him? If they're super worms, feed them high calcium foods like dark green leafy vegetables. Dust lightly.

Give him superworms 2-3 times a week. I gutload them really well and use them as a delivery system for giving my Cham his powdered plain calcium, and at the end of the month, his vitamin supplements.

They're crickets.

Cricket are just fine as a staple (70% of your chams diet), the issue might be gut loading. Make sure you feed those live crickets some healthy grain (cricket crack, bug burger, etc) ,dark green leafy vegetables and other healthy foods 24-48 hours prior to feeding them to your cham. Get...

I'm in Silver Spring, MD and everytime i go to Petco or Petsmart they have them.

They do wonder away once they've eaten their full. They seem to find the food VERY easily.

Dark green leafy vegatables should be a gut load staple. Collard or mustard greens should be rotated in and out every few weeks. This along with one other fruit; blueberries, bell pepper, etc and a dry gutload should be what your crickets/roaches eat daily. Oranges are okay, occasionally, but...

Yes. Crickets that have been pre-fed dark green leafy veggies and other nutious foods (gut loaded) should make up the bulk of the diet. Get rid of the meal worms as they're no good. If she really likes worms, you can feed her superworms occasionally just make sure you feed them collard or...

Happy New Year! Another year of Cham fun!

My Jacksons Kamino goes insane for snails!

Snails. High protein. High calcium.

Thanks. You feed them the snails when they're about the size of a dime. At that size the shells are relatively soft and easy to digest.

Helix snails.

What about florescent strip bulbs?

Mine's going well. I have about 30 that hatched a few weeks ago and a few clumps of eggs that are still to hatch. I take it that will be it for this year, as i noticed (as they did last year) that when the humidity and temps in my basement drop with the outside weather they become quite dormant...

How's everyone's snail keeping?

Spinach is a no no. Use Turnip or Collard greens instead.
