MBD Symptoms I noticed I noticed first of all his problem started when he became a picky eater. I could not get him to eat crickets, he would only eat superworms. I tried but failed, the crickets would lay in the cup until they died. So, after 3 months of this picky eating stage, I tried...

That is a great idea, currently I put them in dishes, I will try that. Thank you for the resources!

Yoshi Update Don't let anyone tell you, that you can't bring a Cham back from Metabolic Bone Disease. With tender loving care, and meticulous oversight on my part, Yoshi is now back to perfect health. His Labs were perfect! yes it cost a little more money for me to have the vet re-draw his...

May I just say if you have a sick cham, take him to fhe vet as soon as possible. Yoshi is not completely out of the woods yet, but he is getting stronger every day. And his colors are more in the happy range. He has been my little buddy for almost a year now, and I can't see life without him...

Thank you for all of your very good information. I can only do what my vet has told me, and I did change his lights. I have never let the crickets run lose, he is bowl fed. I was told they can bug a cham if left to run in the cage. There has been on or two escapees every now and then, but if...

The vet said that the kidneys were failing from the low calcium to start with. And about the crickets, I have tried to leave them in there. I have left them in there until the crickets died, and he still did not eat them. But I am going to try a different gutload, that is a good idea, what...

Update I was told by the vet that his kidneys may be effected. They are giving him fluids, and adding some meds, one for his stomach, and one for the bloodflow to his kidneys. May I say, if you have a sick cham, take him to the vet! I do hope Yoshi can pull out of this, this all started with...

My Veiled Cham a little over a year old was diagnosed with metabolic bone disease by the vet a few days ago, I started hand feeding him, and supplimenting him. He has not offered to eat. Yesterday he vomited. He is now back at the vet, I am anxiously awaiting the outcome. According to his labs...

Yes, that is what I thought, but I needed some feedback. He has become a very picky eater. Does anyone know if Chams digest roaches well? He wont eat crickets anymore at all. I have had to find variety to keep him happy.

I have a question, I have been ordering from Mulberry Farms for some time now, my Cham is about 11 months old. I just ordered some new Roaches for him, Discoid Roaches, I didn't realize they were so big. Some are 2 1/2 inches long!! Well, I think they are too big for him. He hasn't eaten one...

No Stinking Crikets I had the same problem, and made my own cricket keeper by using a plastic bin, cutting a hole in both ends, and putting an old computer fan in one end. This puts a breeze through the enclosure, that gives them air. Then you have to clean once a day. I have No Smell, and...

No Regrets My Cham has been a wonderful Experience. Yoshi is a great companion, but, yes they are high maintenance. BUT! What pet is not?? Not my dog or cat, or Cham goes without my attention!! Yoshi is my day companion, as I work at home, and my husband says I can spoil anything, even a...

I want to take the oportunity to thank you all for all your great advice as I am a new Cham owner, and Yoshi is thriving! I love him, and he loves me. I did not think a reptile could attach themself to a person, but he really knows me and comes to me, amazing. I am sold on Chams!! He just...
