I have zero to offer in the way of Beardie love, but as a Northern California girl, I know this drill well. Be safe. Go when they say go. Don't hesitate. Sending love to you and your babies.
Well, I have no experience with veiled chameleons, so I can't speak to how old your baby is. Hello sweet baby cham! But, what I will say, is you're going to want a much bigger cage ASAP. Minimum is 24"x24"x48". This is the size of a ReptiBreeze XL cage or a standard Dragon Strand cage. Too big...
Well, i have to say, we did a lot of research before getting our cham and it STILL felt like a steep learning curve. If that helps at all. The mentality that you want what's best for your little tree dragon and willing to learn whatever you can is the right one. I feel like I learn something new...
Welcome. How old is your baby and how long has it been in your care? I only ask because babies and chams who are getting used to their new home often show screen climbing behavior, but it lessens over time. You can always raise the heat lamp off the top of the cage a bit, as long as you can...
That's exactly what we are doing. Our vet said the same. He said he would rather try to increase the Vitamin A this way, so we can rule it out (of course, it's always on the list of possibilities for chams) than do injections or liquid which could cause overdose.
Just a light dusting. 😊 This...
We use the Repashy Plus LoD multivitamin which I think is preformed (please correct me if I'm wrong!) and the vet suggested adding an extra supplementation every month for the next couple months (so 3x per month instead of 2x per month), to see if it helps with his eye.
Update: Still no answer for Paulie closing his left eye. He went through a ROUGH shed, his first in almost a year, and his left eye had a lot of thick shed stuck for over a week. That has finally cleared save for one TINY piece of skin still stuck. Our vet suggested increasing the multivitamin...
I had the same issue. I had stripped my cage because we had a pinworm infection and I needed to clean everything. Well, I didn't put the branches and plants back the same way, and my guy took a couple weeks to settle back in. He pushed on the cage door and climbed on the screens. It was awful to...
I won't lie. The only ones I won't touch with my fingers are super worms. They are AGGRESSIVE. Haha. I started out freaked out by the roaches and the worms. It was nightmare fuel. Now I'm picking black soldier flies up by the wings, holding silk worms/horned worms/larvae on my hand (the horned...
I ended up finding a little candy mold (ironically it's heart shapes) at a craft store and I freeze my gutload in the candy mold, then transfer the frozen hearts to a freezer safe container. That way can thaw small or large amounts as needed so I don't waste any. All the buggy love. Haha.
Hi there! Welcome to the chamily. You're in great hands with @MissSkittles, so I thought I would try to add to the feeder/gutload portion. @MissSkittles already attached some great resources there. I often make my own gutload, but if that seems like too much, Repashy Bug Burger is just fine...
I have used this same course of subcutaneous antibiotics last year when my cham had a respiratory infection. I think it took him about 4 days (our vet prescribed 10 shots, one a day for 10 days) for me to notice him starting to feel better. Stay the course. You should see improvement soon...
