I have an ostulent chameleon. He seems to have a stunted tongue. I have noticed it doesn't come out nearly as long as my previous Jackson, or veiled's. So he prefers me with hand feeding him.
I was able to trick the wife and feed him Dubais' for about 3 months til she googled it one day! Damn internet! I actually liked my Dubai colony, easy to maintain and cheap. Wife wanted me to go back to crickets, I cant stand having crickets in my house for the left overs that he doesn't eat that chirp and he cant catch them with his tongue unless they're within a couple inches of his head.( He also likes to jump down in their enclosure and what he doesn't eat he steps all over and kills)
I went with superwoms (here recently) and started dusting them. In the past I noticed that my Veiled's started getting small calcium deposits under the skin. (or what it looked like) The vet that I had remove a few off of my Vieled gave me a trophy from the find and the bill. The animal didn't make it from that stress afterwards and died. I thought maybe this time around I could retry Superworms but mix up the different dusting formulas, supplement, D3, cal no D3.(as well as lighting)
My question for you all is this- I am trying to give the maximum vitamin value for my superworms without having to dust and considered putting goldfish flakes in their container for burrowing and food (after all it is a worm). I noticed a lot of vitamins in the flakes. Is this such a bad idea ? If so, can you suggest a non messy feed for superworms or something else that's a good nutritional value that I can breed myself to keep from pet stores gouging me ?
