utube/melleri eats rat pup?

[spook80]

that was a sight to see any one here seen this? i was just wondering are mice a natural part of a chameleon diet? i was not planning on feeding my panther cham any rodents. i don't really want to either. id rather let my snakes have the rodents. but are they used for gaining wait,getting them to eat,or what?

i have seen some disturbing videos that make me cringe at the thought of chameleon digestion problems

also that was a disturbing video, some people do this because it happens in the wild but imo your cham is better off without a fatty diet and better off sticking to proteins

I know that in the wild larger species like oustalets, meller's and parson's eat small rodents and even small birds!! so i dunno panthers not sure if i would feed em that if anything mayyyybbbbeee just a really small baby mouse like once every like 4 months.

I have done that often with nothing ill about it. Just small pink mice though.

I ordered a small pinky for when my female layed. I cant get her to eat anything other than crickets and hornworms so my male got it! He gets a pinky maybe 2-3 times a year. He loves them. I once thought he was impacted because of one, but he wasn't Whenever I feed pinkys I just make sure they are still pooing normally to make sure they arn't impacted.
