Feeding

[gngorman]

Is there anyone who feeds only crickets, is this bad?

 

[draetish]

No, most use a variety of feeders. They are easy to order online and it gives your cham variety so they don't get bored.

Right, but would it hurt to only use crickets i am just curious? I have some dubias being shipped now.

You should try using other types of bugs like Draetish suggested. But if all you can get your hands on at the moment is crix, gutload WELL. Check out Sandrachameleons blog on the different fruits/veggies that you can use - https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/sandrachameleon/

No, it's not going to "kill" your cham if you do. Gut loading is super important.

Anyone have a good gut loading recipe? Wet and Dry?

i've always been dubious about buying online and get my locusts from the garden centre i used to work at and where darwin came from. he won't eat crickets and is not a fan of wax worms, he refused to eat them last time i bought him any. this is all i can get local to me, only two other places i can get his food from and they stock the same as my garden centre.

is there any really reliable online suppliers who will ship to the UK?

Yes, and Yes (in my opinion).
