I read that it cost $10 a week to feed an adult cham. Is this true? That seems kind of high to me. What is the average cost to feed a cham?

if uronly keeping 1 cham i suggest feeding silkworms as a staple, alhtough they r more expensive they will be cheeper for the long run, for instance 30 bux or so worth of worms (about 250) should last about a month and a half, but then u got the variety, i think its about 40 bux a month to properly feed a cham so yes, 10$ a week is about right

MY estimation is between $5.00 and $10.00 Per week
Crickets,Silkies,Treat worms,Fruit flies,Vitamins and minerals

What are treat worms?

Haha i knew someone would ask that
Thats what i call insects that are not good for a staple such as wax worms, meal worms and super worms

It depends on the feeders and how much they eat. Here is an article on the overall costs of keeping with some breakdowns. If you do not have one yet and are considering I think this is a must read.

The initial cost of setup is high, there are also unexpected vet bills (if you have been reading this forum you will see many examples as of late), buying UVB lights, etc.

Oh, another note on feeders you will want to keep a fresh supply of fruits and veggies as well as a dry gutload.
