Unfortunately its just me but Ill try and do that by myself, then use my other hand to hold her mouth open. Thanks for the tip!

Also, on a side note, I didn’t think anyone was being rude..I just don’t appreciate people assuming things about me when they don’t know me. Ive read the care sheets numerous times. Ive googled tons of different info on chameleons, the problem is that some of the info contradicts the other info...

I just wanted to ask for two things. Today I started her on liquid food, calcium and antibiotics from the vet. I have to force her to take all of them but I’m having trouble getting her mouth open...does anyone have any tips for getting her to open her mouth? I’m scared of breaking her jaw or...

We just got back from the vet. She was given some shots and I was told to feed her with syringes for a while, and give her anti biotics. Pray everything goes well!

This is the multivitamins I give her

Thanks jacksjill. I’ll try the shower method. I’m still waiting on an answer to one of my questions though..can I add vitamins and calcium to her spray bottle and mist her with it?? Or will that not help?

I’ll book a vet appointment ASAP. For a vet visit like this, what kind of cost am I looking at? Also, not to be defensive, but I did a fair amount of research on chameleons before I bought one. I never saw anything about not being able to add vitamins and calcium into gut load, I was actually...

I’m not sure what D3 is... I’m wondering, if she’s still hunting and it appears that crickets I put in the tank are disappearing, is a vet still necessary? I’m not against taking her, I just don’t want to put out 500 dollars to find out she needs more water. If its more than just lack of...

Any idea how much a vet appointment for this will cost?

I figured it was dehydration...Any way I can handle her dehydration level without a vet? Her poop looks normal, she has fake leaves and branches in her enclosure. She has a heat lamp and the other kind of bulb she needs. I give her exoterra multivitamins and calcium powder in gut load that i...

I don’t think the first picture posted so here’s another

yesterday I went to hand feed my chameleon a cricket and when she shot her tongue out she missed and hit my finger. I noticed that she couldn’t pull her tongue back in after. She had to basically push her face into a leaf to force it back into her mouth. I tried with another cricket and the same...

For some reason I cant find a way to make a post of my own for my problem but I’m having a tongue issue and this seemed like the best thread to check. I really hope someone can help me... I bought crickets today for my year old, female veiled chameleon. I went to hand feed her one and when her...

Tank and chameleon

I do have a taller enclosure, I had her in it originally but she wouldn’t eat in it so I down sized. I’ll be upgrading again in a month or 2 I think. On a side note from my concern, can you recommend ANY substitute for having to physically water her? I work 12 hour days so I can’t do it on a...
