I use oats and bug buffet as my base. I then feed them carrots, apples, kale, potatoes you get the idea. No lid so it drys out. I have had this last batch of supers about 8 months.

I cup feed roaches. Help me keep a eye on how many he is eating and they aren't just hiding in the cage.

Are you getting the outdoor formula? I'd be more then willing to send you some to get you started.

Instead of sweet potato I would mash up crickets, dubias and maybe a super mixed with the crickets. I would for sure try to get some bug juice in him.

The only way I could set it up to have NO water outside the cage was cover both sides and back with plastic (I use panda plastic) spray nozzles towards the back and sides (I use 3 nozzles) and use a drip pan (I got mine from 3L) Lean it all the one back corner with a drain. Now I can run my...

Not all bulbs are dimmable

Don't put them so tight. I use flat thumb tacks and small zip ties to hold all my vines and sticks.

I think most don't do this because some or most bugs don't thrive with overdosed calcium. This is why we dust right before feeding. The only feeder I use a substrate for is supers and it's oat meal. Dubias, crickets, silks, horns are bare tubs.

500 silks can put the mulberry leaves down. I was having to feed 2-3 times a day with fresh leaves. Chow they grow a little slower but you only need to put food in every 2-3 days. So much less work. Hornworms you need a good size screen cage just to breed them. Silks you can breed in a shoe box...

Piggletts blog is a very good start https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/pigglett79/silk-worm-rearing-and-breeding/ But I could post how I'm doing if you need. I run a different setup from egg to about a month old and then move them to a setup just like piggletts. Then if you want to breed...

He just hit 8m old and just finishing a shed. I should be posting fresh pics this weekend.

Would love to see a picture of his enclosure. Is there any plants or green in it? My cham would never sleep out in the open like that.

I use newspaper for my Leo and snake but my cham cage is bare. He never goes down there and I spot clean with paper towels

I started with eggs from mulberryfarms.Com and then ended up with way more eggs then I started with. They are right about 4 months in the fridge and im getting about 90% hatch rate. Going to hatch a bunch here soon to refresh on eggs.

Both I did fresh leaves but now for winter I have been using chow. The chow is a little slower growth but I don't need to feed them 3+ times a day like fresh leaves.

Did the vet give a 2cc dosage shot or did you receive 2cc total. I only used baytril with one of my Balls but he was 600g and was only getting 0.2ml of 27.7% baytril and then diluted with 0.8 saline. I used 4ml or 4cc (same amount) in a full 20 day run of Baytril.

I keep all my papers when going to the vet just for tracking meds/dosage and dates. Again very sorry for your lose.

sorry for you lose. 2cc of what strength baytril? Was it straight baytril or was it diluted with saline?

I have great success with silks. All I do is keep them 83f- 88f and feed them, I rarely clean them or do anything for that matter and never had a big die off. Roaches too but you do them already

Had you really read that all plus the links provided, all the questions you asked cage size vs cham size, humidity/temp and how to help these. Everything is all there. The only thing they don't tell you is what brand cage and really with a little searching I'm sure you can figure out which will...
