My chameleon finally at some strawberries.

nez02 May 31, 2005 05:24 PM

I put some strawberries in my chams cage today using the lele method (put them on a wood pick inside the cage)lol thanks. He wasn't sure when he went to get them, but once he got his first bite he ate the rest up in a hurry. How often should feed them to him? Are they a treat or can I alternate them with his crickets and silkworms?

Thanks for the help

Isn't it fun to watch their excitement? lol! Strawberries should be occasional. Butternut squash is another favorite of Luna and you can feed that regularly. Here is a great resource for food/nutrition & calcium/phosphorus ratio. It is color coded and what I use as a guide for Darwin, Luna and gutloading feeders.

How is he with the silkworms? Has he refused them yet? Some chams tire of it.

Yea I enjoyed watching him eat. Hes eating anything I give to him and he loved those silkies. I kept them well fed to get them as fat and big as possible. I will try that squash sometime.

Thanks
