Jackson Babies. Not prepared

[Ron Waldo]

So our Millie had babies, and we just noticed them today. I didn't even know she was pregnant. I'm thinking about putting a banana peel in her exclosure to attract fruit flies. Any other tips on how or what to feed them? I live in Hawaii, so buying bugs other than crickets and mealworms are next to impossible

Can you get pinhead crickets?

OMG cuteness overload

Not that I've found anywhere.

You try Josh's Frogs?

Fruit fly culture?

Unfortunately living in Hawaii, you have to have a permit to ship in plants, animals, and fish. I believe this extends to bugs as well. The agriculture is very regulated here

OH crap. So there are no pet shops there that sell reptiles?

There is shops, but none that sell pinheads. Only can get small and large crickets. And the smalls are still big enough to feed to my adult Cham

Someone told me to try this shop maybe if no crickets you can get fruit fly culture https://foursquare.com/v/moanalua-pets/4bddfa940ee3a59328712fb0

Just a suggestion. I don't know shops there

That's where I go for my fish supplies. They do not have pinheads. I think I'm going to try and attract fruit flies with a banana peel

Until you get a better solution a banana peel might work.
How many babies did she have?

Her exclosure is pretty big so hard to get a good count. I've seen 6 at one time, so at least that many. They blend in fairly well, lol

This is her exclosure

You're not leaving them in her cage with her are you?

Another option for feeding babies are some common pantry pests, bean and flour beetles. Bean beetles grow in black eyed peas and flour in flour. There are even rice ones. You might ask your friends and family to check their pantry. They aren't as common as they used to be.
The fruit fly culture will take several days to get going and has potential. Citrus works as well as the banana. Put it in a small container with a wee tiny hole in the top for the flies to escape in their cage.

I don't know what to do with them. I don't have a male chameleon and never intended to have babies.
