I thought mealworms were nice.

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I put some mealworms and two legless crickets in a hanging cup feeder, the mealworms immediately wrapped around the crickets like anacondas, ganging up on them, and devoured them. It was awesome, but a waste of food, and kind of cruel to the already helpless crickets.

LoL That Sucks For The Crickets. Did Your Chameleon Eat The Worms?

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

No. My cham never seems to want mealworms.

 

[DavidBuchan]

Well that was a waste, then. You probably should put worms or grubs in a separate bowl........

Whoops our posts were deleted. >_> I'll just make another cup.

At least you got to see it though......that's what counts...pmsl

Haha true. Wish my would WANT to eat mealworms though, all I can get around here is crickets and mealworms, and small cups of all dead superworms. I can't order from sites since my mom is a hippy about it and thinks everyone is going to steal our identity.

You can go to Walmart or Walgreens or any supermarket and just purchase a prepaid Visa Gift card for the dollar amount that you need and order online. That way your identity is not at risk or you Mum's bank details.

Tried, she has one but rarely uses it. She thinks if people know where we live they'll kill us. I don't get her either.

Man, my Cham seems to hate mealworms too. I'm kind of glad though.

Sounds like a pain with your mum, I mean, surely she gave you the green light on getting a Cham? If so, then it is also largely her responsibility to keep the animal happy and healthy too. Make her know that! Chameleons need some variety at some point in their life. Provided you stick to safe sites which I'm sure lots of members here will recommend, there wouldn't ever be a problem.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Ya I've shown her the sponsors like mulberryfarms and she says everything is MY responsibility, which I don't get if I myself cannot get something for him because of her.

look on CL and recycler classifieds...sometimes people will post feeders on them.....my area has dubias for sale...also c if ur mom is willing to do paypal n buy off of ebay

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

She does doo ebay, that's how she gets all her money. She saw the movie CraigsList Killer so she thinks it's full of people wanting sx.

 

[Fearaffect]

ok, then u can buy roaches n good supers on ebay...ive done it and got good feeders........

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I'll try, I hope my cham eats them he's so picky! He won't eat something if it's not moving, and the mealworms stop moving when he sees them.

 

[Fearaffect]

Poke the mealies with a small pin they'll b thrashing all over after that..lol

Yea...ive found that Ebay has sellers with good feeders.....shouldnt b a prob......

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

Haha I give them a small squeeze with tweezers and they make one flinch and stop.

 

[Fearaffect]

maybe your cham is like a small kid....your gonna have to show him how GOOD they taste......

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

I actually tasted one of his mealworms it wasn't half bad.
