It was actually designed to be the exclusive source of food. It contains dried fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, greens, flowers, algae, vitamins, carotenoids. When I reformulated the product to reduce the protein levels a couple months ago, I added a lot of new ingredients that aren't on the...

I am sorry if you are taking what I say as condescending. Believe me, I am not trying to do that. I just don't know how to break it down any more than I already have. It is not an easy topic to understand, and I don't claim to have all the answers. In fact, every answer I find, opens up a whole...

Tell me what normal is and I will answer your question :D The issue is that what you think is normal and I think is normal are two different levels. We have been on this point in previous posts and I feel like we are going in circles here. No, I am saying that it could be less likely to show...

Not if you remove the other source of Vitamin D and supplement only with the correct ratio As far as toxic levels, you are totally missing the point and your quote only reiterates this. When I say high and in balance, I am not talking about toxic and in balance. I am saying that when these...

Great list. Three comments..... First, I would suggest to make sure you are all aware of the protein levels in most nuts which can exceed 40% in some species. Grains typically have much less. I really think that gutloads, especially those used for roaches, should be less than 15% (12%-13%...

Don't want to get bashed for getting off topic again but to answer your question..... The Kammers only tested the Calcium Plus using Panther Chameleons, and their endorsement is only based on their experience. If indeed the Montane species are more sensitive to supplementation, then a...

I agree with Clark and Sandra in that with mealworms, a good nutritious bedding such as Sandra's great recipe is your best primary concern for mealworms. I did not design the Bug Burger with mealworms in mind, but have been getting a lot of positive feedback from people who have been using it...

These are some great observations that I think are important to note. I wanted to make a comparison to frogs of all things because I think there are possibly some similar issues at work and I know that a lot of people who keep chameleons might not have any knowledge of Dart Frog Nutrition for...

I don't really know how to respond to this..... can you be more specific?

The most important thing when it comes to A and D is that they are in a balanced ratio (optimum is 10 parts A (retinol) to one part D. If the proper ratio is provided, there is a very wide range of input levels that can be utilized without risk of hypervitamintosis of either one. The only...

I think this is a misconception because research shows that roaches don't need high protein to grow and breed at all. They might be a little slower on a low protein diet, but once your colony is established, this is irrelevant.

Hi Chris, I am a little unsure if your question is about feeding feeders high levels of animal protein, or feeding herps high amounts of animal protein directly. Can you clarify? I look at protein as a chain of individual amino acids, and there are several notable differences between animal...

I do believe that somewhere in the references I read that depending on the amount of Uric Acid, it would take a week to two for them to purge it if they were starved. I would imagine this period could be longer if you reduced protein levels and did not starve them for a while. I will see if I...

I think we will find that as, or if, this trend continues, that it will take a long time for the tables to turn and the understanding we will all gain about nutrition and Vitamin A during the course will make it a mute point. Right now, I would say there are a thousand chameleons out there with...

Does this help? http://www.store.repashy.com/kammerflage-kreations.html

Thanks Clark, It does seem strange to me to be referred to as a supplement manufacturer and not a Breeder LOL. I am not sure how I ended up here but I have enjoyed the ride and it really has become my new passion. I started down this road years ago because I couldn't find any products that...

I wasn't condoning or trying to say that high , but balanced levels are what anyone should use by any means. I DO think however that most people have major misconceptions about what is a high level and what is not. I agree that most people don't have a grasp on these things and this is the...

Hey everyone, I recently joined the forums to reply to another thread and thought I would share a recent article I wrote that Chameleon keepers might find interesting if they are using Roaches for feeders. Gout is definitely an issue that turns it's ugly head in the Chameleon world. If my...

Hey Everyone! I thought I would put on my Knee High's and wade on into this conversation since it is a topic near and dear to my heart. I would like to comment on the Vitamin A and Vitamin D relationship. Vitamin A, D, and for a minor part, E, are all linked together and CAN effect the...
