I won't be able to watch, much less shoot a video of the poor button quail being eaten. My main concern, however, is for my chameleon. If for any reason, I shouldn't feed this quail to my guy, I want to know. Otherwise, I'm thinking it's a good nutritional idea.
Not ONE person has tried feeding a recently hatched button quail to their cham here? Ever HEARD of it? Please advise, as I will be doing so in about 11 days from now unless someone says, don't do it.
Mice drink milk. Milk and reptiles do not mix. It's not the "shot in the arm" of calcium that you might think. Older mice like the one in the picture, doesn't drink milk anymore, so....
wicked picture.
I'll be trying button quail next week sometime, when they hatch.
Hey... did you...
I never know where to go to see what specification or species or subject the photo contest is about. Therefore, I always enter wrong and get pulled. Would you PLEASE consider a quidk link up there in the Photo area where one can simply find out what's up each month? :{
it's the area where you...
Ouch... Didn't expect that from you, Leela
(I have 3 jobs)
As for Stymie, I believe you get out of him what you put into him. I have had pets all my life and we WOW people as to what I get out of them. Maybe there is a little more "Chameleon whisperer" in some of us, more than in others...
LOL Funny to try and fool me.... but I happen to know for a fact he hears me. He even moves his head like a dog when dogs are listening. BTW. He's partial to the higher notes and he loves it when I sing soft and sultry like. He wants to be petted then. It's almost....dare I say... erotic. lol...
I sing to him every day. Familiar tunes, but words just for him. He comes close to me and and engages me physically. I swear, I have to get someone to video tape this. He lets me kiss his lips. (In the nicest way.) He likes his face, jawline and above his eyes rubbed. But special is that deep...
My veiled was absolutely LIVID the other day. Rocking and puffing up like I'd never seen before and putting on a verbal show. He even tried to "bump" me three time in a row through the mesh. I mean he marched right over and was huffing, puffing and making noises I've not heard. I was alarmed but...
Hey Lele.... the bird ladders are serving me well. I have a myriad of them in Lali's cage because she was born deformed and basically has use of only one good front grasper and one back leg that has been comprimised of late. Some of the bigger wood ladders, I've had to put socks on so she is...
Wow... this is SOME thread!
My male veiled: FRACTAL, for the mathematical art work on his body. Pet name: Bay Bay
Male Jackson: MR TRIGGS.... named after a road on the way to pick him up. Bubby is a pet name I use with him at certain times.
female Jackson: LALI-JACK.... it fits her...
Thank you for the information.
I managed the IM shot, but in an effort to stay away from the bone, I wonder if I got deep enough. (people are so much easier to inject) I also suspect that the vet, in this case, prefered injection, to oral, to avoid creating any eating problem, since one of...
No Beebeque then? <G> sorry.. couldn't resist. :D
Serious now....
I had read that spiders, were an essential neonate cuisine once, but could not retrace the article. And something about black widow spiders being toxic. Anything on this confirmed?
My apologies for not mentioning that this is intramuscular. I'd prefer sub Q Z. if I could. but it is in the lower arm muscle I am to inject 3mm's of Ceftazidime. (alternating arms per shots)
I guess what I was asking is for a way I can keep my guy from fearing me.. throwing a towel over him...
I have to give my veiled shots for the next couple of weeks. I am looking for methods that are less traumatic for him. He cried when he got his first shot at the vet. I hope I do a more 'buttery" job of it, but still... It's not pleasant and I'll have to do this alone, with no help. All...
