Yes, he finished 3 days after he started. I believe that was on the 27th of December.

More good news!! He now has a healthy appetite and has been eating like a pig since early this morning. I'm convinced he's back to his old self, now. :)

Update: Some of you (me included) probably thought that my cham. would be dead by now, or at least close to that because of his MBD condition. Well, I'm here to deliver some good news. His health has dramatically increased over the past couple of days. He has been sitting close to his UV...

I went to my local Pet Depot and saw that they had the Repti-Sun 5.0 bulbs (18") for $18, so I grabbed one. The bulb housings, however, were $39.99 - which is ridiculous. So I just went to Wal-Mart and picked out an 18" fluorescent lamp WITH a bulb for $7.99, then just replaced the fluorescent...

Just an update for those interested. His health hasn't changed much since earlier today. I've force-fed him 7-8 dusted crickets since this morning. His coordination is a *little* better. By that, I mean that he's not grabbing onto his own legs without knowing it and he's grasping...

Well I suppose I just jumped the gun before I did my research. I've owned dozens upon dozens of reptiles and other small animals - from any type of snake that a pet shop would sell, to baby ducks/geese/owls, to turtles and salamanders, to even arctic foxes. I haven't gone a single month in my...

I have more news, but it's not in favor of our situation. Appearantly, the only 2 vets that accept chameleons in my area will not take him because they're too busy. I told them that he looks as if he could die within the next couple of days but the best they could do was reference me to a vet...

I'm going to get him to a vet as soon as I possibly can. He is very weak and lethargic, still - I found him stuck on the soil of his plant this morning when I woke up. When I put him on a low limb, I found that his coordination of grasping is somewhat dazed. He will grab his own front legs with...

About 2 weeks.

Yes. He was acting and eating very healthy before this happened. For the first week I had him, I dusted 4-6 small crickets in T-Rex Chameleon Dust and fed them to my cham - which he ate with ease. The next week (last week), he was given large crickets (without dust) and ate 3-4 of them within a...

I have a 4mo. old Veiled cham that is shedding. He has been shedding for about 2 days now and is ~90% finished with the process. My concern is that he hasn't been eating since he started shedding and he also crawls on his stomach about 75% of the time when he's roaming around in his vines...

Good news: he's finally eating. I found some small crickets at Pet Depot and also found some T-Rex Chameleon Dust (on sale for $1.50, btw). As soon as I tossed the first dusted cricket in his cage he immediately stalked it down and ate it. It's so cool to see them eat :D - first time I've seen...

Thanks for the quick response! I've been searching for crickets around my area (even went to the woods to try and find something, but appearantly it's too cold for anything right now). I'll have to make a trip to a pet shop tomorrow and see if I can buy crickets in bulk - I might even have to...

I just received my first chameleon 2 days ago and since that day, he has not eaten a single mealworm or fruit-fly. Some info on his housing and health: Chameleon: ~4 month old Veiled cham, male, approx. 4" body length Cage: 2' tall, 2' long, 1' wide (wire mesh) Foliage: 1x 1ft. tall Schefflera...
