Does anyone have any suggestions on how to intice my veiled cham to eat fruit/veggies? She won't eat what I have offered already...

Does anyone have any suggestions on inticing my veiled cham to eat fruit/veggies...she hasn't showed any interest as of right now.

 

[danibug23]

It all depends how old she is they won't show interest until they are older

As they mature, plant leafs and fruit slices become more attractive to them.

So true, unless their not getting enough to drink. Then you might see little pizza slices cut in the live plant leaves. A good sign to add more misting or run a dripper for long period.

As for original question: Veils will eat just about any live insect. Just make sure it's a safe insect to feed.

My veiled cham has begun to have veggie since he was less than 3 months old.

I feed him dandelion leaf or collard green daily and he loves it. I just leave the veggie on vine and he would finish it.
