Our post on rescuing chameleons (Rescuing Chameleons in Morocco) got a wide and immediate response. Now, we have several donations to buy and free more chameleons, but two other house owners in Fes have signed up to purchase the endangered creatures for release into their courtyard trees.
We are also happy to report that both of our chameleons are recovering from captivity and have been seen eating. They are hard to see when in the trees, but have taken to coming down onto the second floor walkway for a little shade during the hotest part of the day.
We are curious to see what it is they are eating. Most probably it is flies and mosquitos, but it could be that they fancy a wasp or bee as well. Anyone know if wasps are on the chameleon menu?

From Reptic Zone:
"Wild-caught Insects- Many chameleon owners set up insect traps during the summer to catch their own insects (not bees or wasps or hairy caterpillars). Grasshoppers, flies, crickets, and spiders will all be devoured by your chameleons. This also helps offer a diverse diet necessary for the health of your chameleon. It is important, however, that the insects be collected from areas where insecticides are not used. Moths can be collected at night and stored until the morning for feeding."
