Chameleon Supplement Info Needed

[chinocham]

hey guys as you may or may not know i have recently purchased a 6mo female ambilobe panther chameleon i am new to chameleons so apart from reading and what the pet shop have told have me ( which has been a load of crap ) i could do with some info on supplements and feeding. heres what i do at the minute and you could tell if im doing it right etc..

i feed her locusts which are fed bug grub & bug gel heres a pic:

and i dust eat locust before feeding her or putting them into her enclosure every day with this:

The locusts are very unlikely to eat that. i would give them lots of leafy greens like lettuce and cabbage. The supplement is spot on though and should be used at every feeding.

supplementation is more of an art than a science. How much to use depends on so many factors. I personally would NOT use Repashy daily. Its a good product, Its just not necessary to dust that much.

I would add fresh vegetables and such to your store bought gutload

I would also highly recommend you give more options than just locust.

A wide variety of well gutloaded feeders (ie nutrients from natural sources) greatly reduces the need for supplementation.

I believe that i see vitamin d3 on the back of that bottle, pick some up without.

Repashy Calcium Plus has safe amounts of D3 for daily use.

So i have bought some zoo med reptical w/o d3 & reptivite with d3

Is this a good schedule

Reptical w/o d3 daily
Reptivite with d3 twice a month

Don't buy the bug gel!!!! Go to a garden centre and buy water saving gel for a couple of quid, the bag I get makes around 20 litres of the stuff for less than whats in that rip of little tub Costs
