In my. Ever ending search for new feeders, I've come across captive cultured milkweed bugs. Supposedly they're quite prolific and not hard to culture.
Does anyone here actually use them? I really want to know about personal experience with them. Did the orange color produce a good response from your chameleon or did they look at it as something that shouldn't be eaten?
I've seen wild (toxic) ones and I think they're a great size for most chameleons. Cultured (nontoxic) milkweed bugs are fed sunflower seeds instead of milkweed products.
These bugs aren't native to natural chameleon ranges so they won't instinctively recognize them as toxic unless they are turned off by orange and black coloration.
