Keeping Variety

[leslievilarino]

I am getting ready to finally get my chameleon after doing months of research. I want to keep a large variety of feeders and was hoping for some advice and tips. I was just wondering what everyones favorite feeders are - easiest to keep, healthiest, ect. I am in florida though so dubias are not an option

Welcome to the forums. I like to feed a variety of feeders also. I keep at least 5 or 6 feeders on hand at all times. Since you will only have one chameleon to feed you might like to try lindasgonebuggy.com or cnsfeeders.net. Both have combo packs where you can get small amounts of 4 or 5 different feeders for a very reasonable price. There's also a member here, Nick that sales a variety of feeders. I also believe that the Gutload is just as important as the feeders. Nick also sales a couple different dry gutloads that I highly recommend. I live in FL and there's plenty of other roaches you can use besides Dubia such as cave roaches, discoids, green banana roaches and I'm sure there's more. My chams each have their favorite feeder and the ones they will never touch. You will just have to try a variety to see what your little guy likes. Some chameleons will also eat fresh veggies, greens and fruits so you will have to try those too.

You are welcome. Linda's value packs and CNS's combos are great for people who want a variety and only have one chameleon to feed.
