Pygmy help

holy Jan 16, 2004 08:58 PM

I don't know how to feed my Pygmy chameleon. If I leave the crickets on the ground, do you think he'll find them eventhough there are moss on the ground?

I cup fed mine. I set up a small plastic cup in the ground with branches along the side and the top. One of my females would ONLY feed that way and was waiting near it in the morning. Bart would ocassionally hunt but cup fed, too. Kaiya would always hunt. These guys were about 1" long in a 29 high tank and they seemed to find the food - and/or the cup.

They LOVED fruit flies. If you aren't already using them I recommend it. You can buy a culture thru Timberline and others. I would suggest the Hydeii as opposed to the smaller. I took a wood skewer and put fruit on the tip and stuck it in the ground so the fruit was up at thier eye level - worked great!

Hope this has helped you...
