Stella, Stella, Stella….🌱

I haven’t given Stella hibiscus to eat to its death since around the spring. Poor girl has had to make do with a pothos. It has exactly 1 1/4 leaves remaining on it. She even is munching on the baby shoots trying to sprout from the soil. She’s totally unrepentant…as she should be.

That face!!
I have had ok luck with Fittonia's. April nibbles on them here and there and the longest one I managed to keep was almost a year (then she demolished it). They are on the safe list but do give her kinda soft poops so just a warning to anyone seeing this. If she sees a pothos or hibiscus it's game over lol!

And yet we still have no concrete answer why, veiled females in particular strip plants bare! And it’s still said by some that they can’t/shouldn’t have greens and such, as part of their diet because it’s not possible for them to digest the leaves because they don’t have the right digestive enzymes and the on,y reason I know of that has been put forward is that they need the River to push soft insects through the system.

If the reason is to push soft insects through, then why do only the females strip the plants bare while males mostly nibble?

Could anyone who has a veiled chameleon please post in a new thread im going to start now to let me know what their veileds do please?
