I tried to edit my last post, but was unable to. I just wanted to add some info. We just changed his UVB bulb to the Solar Raptor 100W UVB bulb, as it had been almost 6 months since it had last been changed. Also, the website for the alternative food I had found wasn't in my last post, so I...

O.K. Here are the answers to the ?'s in the "how to ask for help" thread: My male veiled chameleon, Ziggy, is a little over 3 years old. He has been in my care for almost 2 years. I handle him every day for meds & feeding. He doesn't seem to mind....the handling I mean, he minds the feedings...

Definitely not considering putting Ziggy down. He's had it rough from the get go. His tongue never projected the way he wanted it to as his jaw is somewhat crooked from when we got him as a baby cham. I have always had to feed him out of a cone shaped bowl, so no matter where his tongue...

I'm not ready to put Ziggy down. He's not cranky, just not able to open his mouth but a little bit. I will ask my vet about the steroids for the jaw problem. Thanks so much for the info. I'm so sorry about your cham:)

I don't think I could give him the vitamin A on a feeder because he is not eating.....& has a really hard time swallowing so it's painful for me to watch him even try to eat. I will definitely try the Repcal or Zoomed as a first option & keep the Vit A as a 2nd option. He has gained 5g in...

Ziggy is 3 years old. What did you do? Is your cham better?

No, he isn't getting a multivitamin, but the Carnivore Care that I give him has vitamin A (25,000 IU/kg), vit D3, calcium, vit e, copper, taurine, l-carnitine, omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, & phosphorus, as well as crude protein, fat, & fiber. Seems like a multi-vitamin to me, but I'm open to any...

My veiled chameleon, Ziggy, seems to have lockjaw & can't project his tongue. He is not eating on his own. I feed him 3mL/day of carnivore care & add in a bit of calcium dust. I've taken him to the vet a couple of times for this issue. First, he said it may be a calcium deficiency, which I...
