Feeders?

Are you gutloading your feeders?? Also make sure to offer more than one gutloaded feeder. I currently offer 5 or six different things depending on day of the week and availability. Did this slowly happen or did they just one day start having trouble feeding? Give a description of what is happening when you say failure. There's alot of knowledgable people on this board that hopefully can give you good advice.

If your chameleons had tongue issues since you first got them, then they came to you with the problem. Unless I'm misunderstanding. You say since the beginning they had the problem. So it wouldn't be due to your care.

Exo terra vitamins is that good to
Use... or can i use more vitamins instead of twice a month
To 4 times..?? Or more d3 or doesnt that
Stimulate the tong..???
