Thanks, I'll pass the word along! Had a follow-up with the vet last week. Uric acid and phosphate levels have improved somewhat, but not back to normal, so we're keeping him on his meds. Feeding time has become a little more routine for us and the lizard alike. He's most receptive to feeding...

Here's a pic from today.

Hi all, just wanted to update. After getting some strength back in Miffs we were able to take him to a reputable vet in the area who specializes in exotics. We brought our beardie as well who has gone on a no-veggie 'hunger strike' but still eating worms...all too familiar. Blood work on Miffs...

Thank you so much for the advice of using ReptaBoost! (y) Got about a cc in him the first day, and with my girlfriend helping now we're getting a few cc's at a bit higher concentration. I had initially assumed that I would need to (gently) force feed him but this was not the case at all. A much...

I've tried mixing up the feeders a bit and slipping him a wax worm during a misting, which he got very offended by. Talked to some folks at the local reptile shop who recommended a new exotic vet specialist in the area. I am contemplating an appointment, but as I've said, have very mixed...

Thanks, I'll try this tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.

I had heard of two week hunger strikes and after that began to be more concerned. Last week was one of some false hope, thinking he was eating, but worms were escaping. Knowing that this is not normal is helpful, and I will work more assertively to get him fit. I appreciate the suggestions and...

Not sleeping during the day. Mostly normal behavior aside from not eating. I haven't tried anything along the lines of force feeding yet. Just cup and hand feeding. After sprays has been the best in the past. UVB at about 6 months and due for a change, but not dramatically old. We keep up on it...

Recent pic of him diggin some sprays. This is about as bright as he gets these days ^ About 2 months ago. This is how he reacts to cameras (almost as if he thinks its a male veiledy) ^ Free range converted from steel shelf ^ Sheddin in old habitat ^

Long time reader first time poster (or at least first time in a long time). Have gotten lots of care info here in the past. Have owned 3 veiled chameleons. Currently 1 and a beardie. Thanks in advance for any help. Here to ask about my senior (7 yo) veiled chameleon named Miffins who hasn't...
