Had a really bad day today. I woke up to a dying ndnd. She was at the bottom of the cage and was totally limp when i woke up. Idk what went wrong but she had been thirsty for days and of course she was such a picky eater. I really dont think she was healthy to begin with. She was the second...
Alternative methods to give vitamins

Im a newb to chameleons as well but i did get my set up pretty cheap. I used ebay you can get the same supplies you buy elsewhere for 20-50% cheaper. I started with a juvenile setup for my 6 month old jacksons female. List is as follows.

Very picky eater
Well i am starting to get her schedule down with eating. She usually eats two to three days in a row and then nothing. This past time she waited four whole days. I put a fresh cricket in each day and take it out at bedtime trying to encourage eating but thats a laugh. I finally...
Major win today
Well after a month of raising my cham i had a major win today. She drank from the drip! YAY!!! Im so excited she finnally learned what running water is. I have been having to use the spray bottle waiting for her to be in a good spot so i could drizzle water to get her drink...
She ended up going three whole days. On the third night I removed all food items before lights out and when i woke up i allowed her the usual 45 to warm and then put one medium cricket in. Within minutes it was gone. So i gave her two more. I then fed her two today. I think she was being picky...

Its true about finding supplies like cages and supplements, lights and so on. Your local stores carry the bare minimum. And its pretty cheap to get started. I got my cage, dowels, plants and stuff all on ebay. And after receiving my Cham my total was $200. You also want to make sure you can find...
