fruitflies

[blood4eva69]

i tried feeding flightless fruit flies today with some crickets in the same bow/dish... and they flies didnt fly...lol.. but they got out of it...well more like 3 out of 15 of them. my guestion is is there any other way or better way to feed flies to my cham since i feed on a container??

I feed hydei to my veileds. They love them.... I just put the fruitflies on the plants and let the chams find them like how it would be out in nature. Did you dust the fruitflies? Its harder for fruitflies to climb with calcium on them. What kind of fruitflies are you feeding them hydei or melanogaster?

melanogaster... how many should i give my cham.. he is 5 months or so

Do Jackson cham eat fruit?

I think fruit flies are a lot of trouble for a 5 month old who should be eating bigger food anyway. My 5 month old veiled wouldn't even bother if I offered them, which I don't. Fruitflies are good food for babies and pygmies.

Fruitflies are way too small for a 5 month old...you need food that is as long as his head is wide

I agree, Fruitflies are too small for a 5 month old veiled. If your looking to switch his diet up a little try phoenix worms or mealworms.
