It's happened to me only once. Same scenario. Wife freaked out and I didn't get to let my Cham eat it tho.

I have one scheduled for Wednesday. That's literally the soonest I can afford to get him in again. The pillows have remained dry so far but I will switch them out more often.

Ya I'm only doing the liquid feeding because I can get him to really eat otherwise. I want him to go back to a normal diet as soon as I can.

The arm grabbing started a little over a month ago when I began antibiotics due to a respiratory infection. It was also the same time I was feeding him meal worms loaded with flukers.

Male veiled 4 years old(in my care from 6 months old) Handling him daily as of now because of the past illness(respiratory infection and eye infection) Food: horn worms, did meal worms recently and gutloaded with flukers(no longer using flukes or meal worms) recently wlswitching to liquid diet...

Thank you so much for the info!

Thank you, I got both the Oxbow and grub pie mix. I'm going to give this a shot. Do they have the same poo and urine as regular feeding or is it similar to glucerna where they don't really go to the bathroom?

I am syringe feeding a chameleon that doesn't want to open its mouth. As of now I am gently opening his mouth and placing the syringe round around his teeth and then pushing the food into his mouth. Should be trying to go into his throat with the syringe? Should it be a rubber tipped syringe...

I might do that. Thank you for your help

I'll check out the Oxbow, thank you. My wife won't let me blend insects in the house so I'm looking into other options for him.

This may be a stupid question but I'm dealing with a sick chameleon(recovering) but he won't eat his horn worms or anything without me forcing him. I started a liquid diet today of some carrots and peas ground with some water and vitamins. I was wondering if I can use a whey protein(to increase...
