New Chameleon - 7-month Old Panther - Feeding and Supplementation Help

[JasonSinger]

Hi There:

I am new to the forums but not new to owning chameleons. I had 5 chameleons about 6 or 7 years ago but am rusty on the some details.

I have an all mesh cage, Reptisun 5.0 UVB and 75 watt heat lamp. Misting several times a day, branches to climb on and foliage to hide behind.

I am having trouble finding info /remembering is a feeding schedule (how much for a 7-month panther - what size crix) and supplementation (which I know varies between animals and keepers).

Any insight would be awesome.

Hello!

I would suggest doing a search for supplement schedules and feeding schedules... then you can take a look through the threads and that may be helpful. I am fairly new so I have never owner a Cham of that age yet as my first in only about 2 & 1/2 months old now.

Hi
welcome to the forum.

You may find the information in this blog entry useful, regarding supplements:

a seven month old can eat large crickets, around 5 a day. of course you'll want to offer variety, not just crickets.
