That's exactly my problem I've had several explanations from vets and scientists about several things but sometimes to difficult to be able to tell it on to other chameleon keepers. So maybe if someone can write it down how this exactly works and is tested than I can save it on my comp...
It's indeed not possible, it's a completly different species, they don't even meet in the wild.
Mating a lion and a tiger is only possible in captivity because they don't meet in the wild and the hybrids can't mate among each other so that's not a healthy way of breeding either. The reason...
I was wondering how scientists perform tests on chameleon to determ what kinds of minerals/vitamins are good and bad, and what the use is of these minerals and how much they need of it, in what way it's best to get these supplements and stuff like that.
I know about UV measurements...
Haha as a real chameleon passionate I'm about everywhere! Going to subscribe to the German forums as well soon :D
Gonna get a quadricornis female at Hamm I think :p
Make sure you catch your female when she is giving birth! It's gorgeous to see!
Oh sorry i didn't know that term. I figured it was a grasshopper.
To respond on Olimpia:
I don't have any problems with feeding my chams other feeders than just insects and obviously my chams don't mind either, they love it, they don't hastitate a second when getting a baby mouse or baby...
You think what a grass hopper eats and taking the size of a grasshopper into consideration is more nutricious than a baby mouse who get's more nutricious food from mommy (don't forget in the belly of the mommy.) A baby mouse needs more vitamines, calcium and minerales to develop than a...
Omg, that's so funny! I once hada chameleon trying to grab my ring, diamonds look tasty appearantly. Also had a cham that hates water to do hilarious stuff to stop the hand sprayer or the misting machine, unfortunatly i'm always too late with my camera!
I feed my adult veiled pinkies once a month. They are a good source of different minerals and lots of calcium ofcourse which is good for his muscles and bones :D
I feed the new born ones but even the ones who are getting slightly bit of hair and darker skin can be fed. I even fed my adult...
I had one of those USB chams, really fun the first 5 minutes and then you wish to throw it out of the window. Those things are plain annoying XD
You plug them in, they start making noise, roll the eyes, roll out tongue couple of times and that goes on all day long!
Very useful Chris! Compared to other chameleon's velied babies grow extremely fast and people have issues giving the good nutrition. I see MBd more often than needed..:(
it's like women in their period haha. Chameleons are a bit more irritated when shedding and can eat or drink a little less then and be less active, though they always like a treat as in women eating ice-cream or chocolate, mine eats waxmoths and fruit :P
There is also a difference in what kind of product with D3 is used. If your chameleon goes outside during the summer, you don't even have to give extra D3. I spoke about this with a very experienced reptile vet and the D3 vitamin they make when they sit inside the sun is different from what we...
