[John33871]

ok, tomarrow ill be getting my first chameleon, a baby veiled via fedex. i just wanted to know when i feed him for the first time, should i dust the crickets or not? thanks for any help!

yes, babies need to be fed dusted at almost every feeding!what are you using for dusting??

 

[John33871]

im using 2 rep cal: herptivite, and calcium with vit d3. are those good?

 

[westcoastchameleons]

yes, i use these to..they are very good!!!

 

[John33871]

how much do i put in when mixing with the crickets. lets say i do 10crickets, 1/2 tablespoon of both?

 

[westcoastchameleons]

i usually dont recomend using both, the calcium can eat away at theminerals....use mkainly calcium, and vitamins once a week because hes a baby. just get a good coat of dust on crickets.
