Hi,

I'm just after a bit of advice.

I have 2 veiled chameleons housed seperatley which i've had for a while know & everything is well so far!!!

However, every morning I used to throw in a handful of crickets for them pre gutloaded with cricket grub but my wife was tearing her hair out everytime she saw a loose cricket running around & the noise they make is unbearable especially in the hot weather.

So, I have stopped feeding them crickets & started to buy a sackful of locusts each week of which they love & gut load them with greens.

I am throwing in about 4-5 small locusts a day & am curious as to whether this is enough for chams.

I also mist their flexariums every morning as well.

Also, what else do you recommend I do with regards to diet?

how old are the chams?

mine is only about 5 months old and is eating 3-6 large (well over 2 inch) hoppers each day, i also give the odd wax worm here and there, moths, worms no crix though, hate the noise and the stink!

Good to see your supporting the right team. Lol.

They are both over 12 months old.

 

[It's corny but..]

my 9 month old male gets a box of adult locust every other day, and mealies/waxies occasionally. if i have roaches i give them too. i was advised to feed him less often, considering their short life span..

my experience of chams is that they have huge appetites, and they like a big variety, i even used to pupate maggots for him to eat the flies. also got crix, locusts, waxies and whatever was banging round the lampshade(moths daddy longlegs, spiders etc.). I wish i knew what i now know about roaches when i had him though-theyre the best!

CHAMPIONS!!!! lol

i am sure they would eat more than that, especialy the female as they are like dustbins when it comes to food, just try a few more and see if they take them....

be careful with over feeding females.
females can get obese where as males can not.: victory:
