| Bee Pollen: The author of this paper has been supplementing his chameleons with bee pollen every day. This can be done by purchasing bee pollen tablets from a health food store. The tablets can be ground to a fine powder in a blender and added with equal portions of the daily calcium supplement. Many wild insects are covered with pollen when they are eaten by chameleons. Bee pollen is a good, safe source of vitamin B, protein, amino acids and enzymes. Vitamin B is often used as an appetite stimulant with anorexic animals. By supplementing with bee pollen, it is possible that some chameleon 'hunger strikes' could be avoided. For more information, see Hunger Strikes in the trouble shooting section.
