Im checking local pet stores for pinheads, my usual store is out... if I'm not able to find any today what can I do to feed my babies? Are they going to die if they don't eat for a day? This is so stressful!

Not planning on feeding the nymphs to my chameleons, I've been saving the adults to produce my own colony and have been waiting a few months for this. I find it to be very exciting! I created an environment sustainable enough for dubia roaches to reproduce (not that they are too picky) I've...

No, she just finished drinking.

Wingless fruit fly culture just arrived in surprisingly great condition from Josh's frogs! Going to give them another 1-3 days to hatch and then I'm going to start dividing out the culture to make more.

Beautiful momma Little Foot just had a drink. She's so awesome.

Thank you again, you're truly amazing.

All done... looks good

I was tired of the containers leaning at an angle so I affixed 4 beads (2 on each side) to the bottom of the containers. I had used alien tape to affix the screen to the front of the containers previously and removed that this morning when I removed all of the babies from the containers and...

Still feeding pinhead crickets at the moment I promise I have a culture on the way, and @ItsMike64 was so kind to send me spare excelsior and culture supplies so I can start more cultures of wingless fruitflies using the culture I purchased, but it may be a couple weeks before I can do that. I...

Question. Do newborn chameleons know how to hunt? Like if I just dump pinhead crickets into the cage and they land all over the plants are they going to find any? What if they don't find any to eat? Ive heard they eat like 10 or 15 pinhead crickets a day and I've only seen 2 of them eat like 3...

Put them back in the cage with their ferns for now until I can add more mesh to the top of the container.

Rearranged the apartment a bit to make more space in general. Humidifier is set up. I'm just doing bursts of humidity for 2 minutes at 6 minute intervals, the tubes are placed high above the cages to just make the air around them humid, I don't want too much water buildup in there.

I just heated up a fork and poked 8 additional large holes at the top of the container and in the back of the container I poked 4 large holes. I feel that needle sized holes are too small for any venting. These additional holes should allow for air and water flow. Let me know if you think I...

I used a hot needle and poked 4 holes at the top of each container but I don't know if that is enough for them or not, probably not. I also poked 4 holes at the bottom edge so water doesn't pool up at the bottom. How many holes do you think would be enough to vent?

Is this enough room to vent? I have a 16 inch arcadia ballast so I have to have them this close. There's about an inch of space between each. I also have one humidifier with 2 tubes, so I was going to strategically place the tubes so the humidity makes it down to the screen.

I just saw what you did and recreated it! No guide necessary! 20 bucks at the dollar tree roughly plus 15 bucks for the fern which I divided up into 5. Some cages have more foliage than others but I tried to give them as much as possible. Went with a standard fern because that's all my local...

My problem so far is they dont seem to be eating

Are those ferns you have in there?

Noted on the temp drops - that actually scares me because sometimes I wake up and my apartment is too hot if I leave the heater on and too cold if I leave it off. I think what ill do is leave the heater on half power through the night and crack a window just a smidge to let a little cool air in...
