Also, the uvb bulb should be changed out every 6 months. I hope your taking notes. LOL.

And if I looks like it's still working after 6 months you still have to change because they won't function correctly

do u stick the bugs in a ziploc bag or something? i think i read that somewhere...

 

[Peachypink]

Thats nice to know, probably still wont feed them though, i just dont like how they can survive a nuclear bomb. Lmfao.

Lol. Not the dubia. They would die. House roaches are a different breed.

If you are going to dust then I personally would but them in a small container and dust them there
And then feed but I started with a ziploc LOL

the nutrients put into the insect that gives your cham nutrients. basically the food chain.

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

yeah.... i read that you need calcium (with and without d3) and mutivitamens...

 

[Dumzy]

U dust them with calcium without d3 every feeding, dust them with calcium with d3 once a month, and vitamins once a month, just put the crickets in a bag with the calcium and shake em

Gut loading is feeding the crickets (or other bugs) a highly nutritious diet so the nutrients in turn passes on to your cham.

 

[Chameleon Crazy Chick]

do u dust them with a paintbrush, or what?

Gut loading is feeding the crickets (or other bugs) a highly nutritious diet so the nutrients in turn pass on to your cham.

this is when the food chain we learned about in 2nd grade comes in handy haha

Gut load is when you fed the crickets and once there belly is full you feed them so they have more nutrion
