hibiscus flower???

[superstiney]

with hibiscus flower, do i just put the whole plant in the cage? will my Cham. eat the flowers or what?
just heard they love hibiscus flowers so i figured id give it a shot.
Also if i just buy it from a garden store, is it safe to just put it right in the cage?

and help would be appreciated!!!

thanks

Yes you should put the whole plant in the cage. Your chameleon may or may not eat the flower depending on his or her personality and type of chameleon (for example veild vs. panther). BEFORE you put the plant in the cage you should soak it "head" first in a tub of soapy water for about 10 minutes. After you do that rinse the plant of really well so no soap residue is left. Then you should take out about the first 1"-3" of the top of the soil and replace it with "topsoil" or large river rocks. This prevents your cham from getting into soil that could potentially have very harmful things in it.
