Hey everyone, I was just wondering what size crickets a 4 month old veiled can eat? I went to the store today and got 150 medium crickets and 50 large crickets. I didn't realize the large crickets would be full grown with wings lol. Will it be okay to feed the big ones to my cham? I cup feed him...
Dude that's like the exact thing I did.. I had been waiting for them to get their new babies in and once I saw them I was so excited I had to buy one right away. I also chose the only male and he happened to be the runt out of all his siblings. If you take him back tomorrow you could maybe ask...

And @ltgorewrath - I would suggest just taking your cham back to the store. I did that for mine when he was dying like that and they fixed...

The overall room temp might be too low and they're all just hanging out at the top because that's the only place its warm enough. I noticed that if the room temp isn't high enough my cham will only ever sit at the top of his cage. I raised the room temp a few degrees and he immediately started...
Is there any white crust on his nostrils? My cham sometimes takes a deep breath and breathes out his nose really hard and the crusts fly off lol. But yeah snoring definitely isn't normal :(
Yeah try to make sure your cham can sit right under the uvb. If they don't have the uvb they wont digest as quick so they wont be as hungry. When I got my baby cham I made the mistake of having his uvb like a 1-1 1/2 feet from his closest vine.. so essentially the first week I had him he was...
