for chameleons?
i don't think they like dead insects.
They are wired to eat things that are moving.

 

[FOREVER ENDEAVOR]

most chameleons will only eat live food items..

 

[phanx]

yeah thats what i was thinking too lol

 

[lilblacky]

what if you wiggle it? =D

 

[THECHAMMAN]

during hurrication, i could get him to eat dead crix like that by wiggling them.

if you have time to wiggle each crickets. sure why not?

 

[phanx]

hahahaha hand feeding doesnt seem so bad but its not always a garuntee

 

[FOREVER ENDEAVOR]

I'd stick to live prey items..

 

[THECHAMMAN]

live prey is better, i just used it for an emergency.

 

[phanx]

but what if a chameleon does eat these can'o'crickets and what if it does like it, are these things low in vitamins and minerals or what?

 

[THECHAMMAN]

they may not have been gutloaded correctly or may not have been gutloaded at all. you can dust them, but the gutload also counts.

 

[FOREVER ENDEAVOR]

no, they actually claim to gut load them right before the freeze em.. its just that most chams show no interest in dead food items

Disclaimer-I was not condoning feeding "can o" products with this statement.. I highly recommend a varied diet of live healthy gut-loaded feeders..

luckily 2 is enough for me. i want more, but im not sure how much more my room can take. im like living in a jungle.

They may be "gutloaded" right before they're frozen, but what are they gutloaded with? I wouldn't use them. Just buy live crickets and gutload them properly. You have no way of knowing you are getting your chameleons the correct nutrition if you are using those things.

 

[THECHAMMAN]

kinda the point i was trying to make, but you verbalized it much better than i did.

 

[summoner12]

The movement makes something in their head tick, and they think 'what the heck is that doing in MY territory!?!?! I must eat it!" LOL

 

[ChromaChameleons]
