I think I'm just going to feed my horns some mulberry leaves. I got plenty of it... Btw I tried raisin silkies but all eggs never hatched... Not sure why.
i just want to be completely clear of one thing because i have no problem getting access to it.... can i feed hornworms mulberry leaves or not?
i got about 20 trees right outside my house so i would be very happy if i don't have to think about hornworm food ever again.....
i had the same exact problem with my 2 year old cham....sadly the chameleon died as he stopped eating after his back spines pealed off completely..... he used to eat a lot but once he lost his spines he didnt eat as much and died. as a result of not eating he became very weak...became blind...
where in the world do you guys get those grasshoppers. i looked everywhere for them and for those colorful locusts but i got no luck...........WHERE..................
that was very interesting,,, but ill bet if that was a veiled chameleon im pretty sure it would have attacked the snake cus its so much more aggressive...
I forgot to mention that the 2 inch cham fell the entire hight of the cage straight from top to bottom. The cage is 4foot high.... Could that be the reason why it doesn't want to eat??
he didn't eat anything today unfortunately...didn't know even the slightest bit of interest.. i don't think he's shedding because his skin looks extremely new.
where can i find the questionnaire???
going back to carnivores and insectivors......i see a lot of people feeding their adult chameleons small mice....which means they could be carnivirous...dont you think....
i highly doubt hes thirsty just because there is a misting system installed.. sprays every 2 hours.... i think he might be shedding idk....thanks for the tip....
p.s. congrats on game 1 vs sharks. :)
i got a 2 month old veiled and yesterday was the first time i give him wax and butter worms. yesterday he ate 3 crickets which 2 of them were half inch, a wax worm and a butter worm.
today he doesn't wanna eat anything so i was wondering maybe he ate too much or that stuff was heavy in fat...
i got my cham 2 months old and he's eating great.....today i fed him wax worms, butter worms and crickets...... and its still not 2pm yet. its him first time eating wax and butter worms...didn't even hesitate to munch them down.
chams looks great... im in the exact situation you are in. i got the same cham with the same age, i also got him about 2 weeks ago... i didnt see him shed yet tho. im waiting for that moment if i catch it in time....
i dont think thats going to work simply because they will just pick off the worms and leave the fruit... maybe let the chameleon go hungry a little and then provide the fruit, that way they are somewhat forced to eat it and its good for them.. from this point on they are familiar with it and...
actually this is something that i have been wondering about for a couple of years now...i just never thought to ask this question....i too would like to know if its ok.
