How to choose a chameleon?

1. During the day, the chameleon's eyes are bright and open, and the eyeballs keep moving to keep alert and look for food!

2. Before selecting, you can take a look when feeding on the spot. If the chameleon sees the food sticking out its tongue immediately, the longer the tongue is sticking out, the faster the tongue sticking out means the better the health condition. After hunting, take advantage of the chameleon to eat the food. Observe whether there is any abnormality in the mouth.

3. Guide the chameleon to climb into your own hands and feel the grip strength of the chameleon's limbs. The stronger the grip strength is, the better your health is.

4. When the chameleon sleeps at night, its tail will be coiled up or coiled on the branches. If it falls loosely vertically, it means that it is in poor health.

5. Don't compare more than 2 chameleons together at the same time, it will scare the chameleons to death.

How to raise the chameleon best

1. The main foods of chameleons can choose crickets, cockroaches and grasshoppers, while other species such as bread worms, corn worms, silkworms and suckling mice can only be used as secondary diets. Suckling mice are only suitable for feeding adults, and they should not be fed more than one per month. But finding food for chameleons is still difficult for some friends, many of whom can't even find crickets, only bread worms. If bread worms are used as the main food for the chameleon, it is tantamount to letting it slowly wait for it to die! Bread worms are not suitable for staple food because of their low nutritional value, indigestibility, high fat and low moisture. The problems that may occur in long-term feeding bread worms include indigestion, various nutritional diseases, refusing to eat, and so on.

2. Adults can be fed once a day, which is equivalent to about 8 / 10 adult crickets (reduced to 5 / 7 in winter) and stopped feeding for 1 / 2 days a week (once every other day in winter). The larvae can be fed 2-3 times a day, each time limited to 15 minutes, and should be stopped once a week or reduced for 1 or 2 days. The actual portion can be adjusted according to individual, preferably fed to 780% full, which can greatly reduce the chance of indigestion or anorexia to a single type of food. In addition, regular calcium and vitamin supplements are needed. Adults need to be fed two to three times a week, while larvae need to be fed every day.

3, the best feeding time is at noon, the normal chameleon defecates within 1 hour after absorbing heat every day, and the appetite will naturally increase after defecation. Avoid feeding in the evening because the temperature is low at night, which can easily cause indigestion. Observe the chameleon feces to understand their digestion, if it is found that a lot of food in the chameleon feces is not digested, it should be reduced or stopped feeding immediately. If the stool is dilute, it means that the intestines and stomach are no longer working properly, all feeding must be stopped immediately and water must be replenished.

4. Chameleons need a large amount of water to drink. In the wild, chameleons usually drink dew from leaves in the morning, or Rain Water directly when it rains, so we should also consider these two aspects in providing water. The best way is to spray water. Generally, you can use a sprinkler system or a sprinkler can. Spray at least twice a day for at least 3 minutes each time, preferably with warm water, and try to avoid spraying directly on the chameleon (especially the eyes). The sun just comes out in the morning and once in the evening. Spraying water in the morning is the most important. Chameleons like to drink water in the morning. Spraying water in the evening is to replenish the water lost when basking in the sun at noon, and it can increase humidity and cool down at night. Spray one or two more times in hot weather and dry baths in winter.
