chewing on vines

[Doctercookie]

i have an ambilobe panther chameleon for about three weeks now and ive noticed that she has been chewing on her vines and taking chunks out of them. I removed them from her cage and now she just has a few leaves to play on until the new ones come in. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? i have no idea as to why she would be biting junks out of it for.

It might be she isn't getting enough food or not enough water.

It is a panther stereotype. Much like 'white people can't dance.' We can't! Female panthers chew less than males, and usually quit a lot faster also. Much debate about nutrients and H2O. Neither ever proven. Just something you will have to wait out. She will most likely quit.

If she's eating the plants and she seems to like them try offering her some kale or other greens.

I have real sticks in my babies cage and he was chewing on them. I haven't seen him get any pieces off. he also seems to be not doing it as much as he was even a couple weeks ago.
