Oh and here are some picture of him taken on my macbook. They're bad quality but I don't have a camera so this is the best I can do. I don't think these picture show how skinny he is either. I can usually see his ribs and his arms are so scrawny. I feel so bad, I really want to help him...
I noticed his loss of appetite about 3 days before he started shedding. It's been about a week since he started shedding, and the most he has eaten in one day was 3. Other days he won't eat at all, or maybe 1 or 2. Today I put 2 crickets in his cage and he didn't try to eat them. He used to eat...
Replying to freezing food though: I agree with Jaxy Girl and DJ Richey. Although I wouldn't take the time to freeze the crickets, the nutritional value would be no different if they were frozen. It actually preserves the nutrients because each day that passes while a fruit-veggie is in the...
My guy is a little underweight, so people at the pet store recommended wax worms. I just don't hear people talking about them ever, so I though maybe it had another name. Problem is, my cham won't eat the wax worms anyway. I know the breeder only used crickets, would that affect the foods he...
I've been looking on this site for wax worms to see if it is an appropriate food source. Problem is that I can find any forums referring to wax worms. Are they called something else? Do they have another name that you all use. Thanks!
I do have a linear tube. Petsmart sells the same light in a tube and bulb form, which probably confused you because most people that have repti-glow have the bulb.
Rocky: thanks for the video. That's how my Jackson's moves, much more jerky. I feel better now knowing this is most likely...
Is there any way that you could maybe volunteer like 2 times a week to go to the pet shop and take care of them? Maybe the chams aren't in the right cages and everything, but you could at least give them vines to crawl on and just help the ignorant employees how to take care of them, by using...
And also in to response to rocky's video, his shake is more intense then that. Its like he's shivering back and fourth. He doesn't move his legs to much. They stay put and his body shakes. I've been reading a little bit into MBD and now I'm worried thats what he might have. He has been eating...
I didn't get a chance to submit this yesterday.
Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - Jackson's chameleon, Male, Not sure of the age, but he's 5 inches from snout to his butt. I've had him for 3 weeks now?
Handling - I only handle him once every few days for a minute or two. He doesn't like it...
So my chameleon every day or so will be sitting on a branch and will start to convulse forward and back. Sometimes he opens his mouth or puffs up a little in the neck. I figured it's a scare tactic to keep predators away, but it's been happening more often. Does anyone have experience with this...
