How often do you have to change turtle aquarium gravel?
Not necessarily 'change' it - but certainly clean it regularly. As a cleansing product - I swear by 'Milton Fluid' (the stuff you sterilize baby bottles with). Once a week, wash the gravel in a solution of half a cap of Milton to two gallons of water. Let the gravel sit in the water for at least an hourto allow time for the fluid to work. Rinse the gravel thoroughly in clean water at least three times - to get rid of any Milton residue.
Leave the gravel to dry for a couple of hours before you put it back in the cage. One option would be to have another quantity of gravel already cleaned so you can 'swap' it over instead of having to wait for it to dry.

Do African Dwarf Frogs carry diseases?
Only if one eats them too often. The acronyn 'Dwaf' stands for 'Dangerous when eaten frequently', so it's easy to remember not to overindulge (unless you don't speak English). Also, where I live just south of the Arctic Circle, they are not readily available and very expensive, so we only have them as arare treat. Nanook
Yes, but worms don't provide much nutritional value. If you were feeding a garter snake worms you should dust the worm with a supplement prior to feeding, from a reptile or pet store.

How fast do chameleons change colors?
Chameleons can change color in as little as 20 seconds. They're born with special cells that have color in them and these cells are in layers under the chameleon's outer skin. When the pigment cells change, the chameleon's skin color changes. Many think chameleon's change color to blend in with their surroundings, but scientific studies show that light, temperature, and mood cause them to change, making them more comfortable, or helping them to communicate with one another.

How many times do feed goldfish?
Goldfish in the wild (carp) are opportunistic surface, bottom and midwater feeders. They don't find food on a schedule, so don't stress on a schedule. Your key is watching closely how much food remains drifting on the bottom. Amount is far more critical than either timing or frequency. Small feedings twice a day is fine, but larger feedings every other day is fine, too. Don't skip taking a weekend for yourself just because of the fish. There are also solid blocks for long weekends. A week? ask a neighbour to feed them well, once, during the week.
If you're a 'tester' you can monitor nitrite/nitrate ratio. If you're a frequent bottom air-lift siphon cleaner, smell the filtrate from your bottom suction cleaner for unpleasant funk.
Feed by sprinkling slowly, taking about a minute to distribute it all. If all the food disappears and none hits the bottom, you're underfeeding. If more than half of the food hits the bottom, you're going over.

Can chameleons be handled a lot?
Chameleons arn't cats or dogs. You can't exactly play with them although all chameleons have their own special personalities. If you have a chameleon you are thinking of, try to find out if it likes its crest rubbed lightly or if it likes to be held. Some chameleons will like to be wrapped up in a blanket and cuddled with, just make sure that they don't get hurt. It might be fun to create an obsticle corse for your chameleon to climb over, as they are very skilled climbers and need to get excersize. You can also expirament with what types of foods your chameleon likes, just be sure that everything is organic and washed and in small enough pieces so they won't chock. Be sure to print out a list of foods chameleons can and can't eat. Most of all, make sure that the chameleon has proper care and housing. Take your chameleon to the vet if anything goes wrong, and remember that they are very fragile creature and prone to breaking ribs.
Do tortoises eat carrots cucumber broccli?
It depends on the individual. Tortoises will eat almost any vegetable matter, but some are 'picky' eaters, and reject certain foods. It's a case of 'trial and error' to find the foods your own tortoise will eat.
It depends if they are ocean hermit crabs or land hermit crabs. Most ocean ones live off the coast of Europe, North and South America, and Australia. The land hermit crabs can be found in the Carribean, Florida, Australia, and other warm places. More information is at http://j.whyville.net/smmk/whytimes/article?id=5635.
