I’ll look into it

He didn’t say anything about a liquid calcium diet. You think it’s maybe something I should do for awhile?

For anyone that posted or saw my thread on Robert’s MBD I wanted to give you guys and update. For anyone that hadn’t seen my thread. I stupidly bought the reptibreeze chameleon kit, because it was before I found this forum warning about the kit. I also was misinformed by petco about his calcium...

My dad is an orthopedic (which means bones and muscles) physical therapist. I told him about Roberts MBD and showed him the bends and bows in the leg. He came up with an idea (for the record we are NOT doing this, vet said his bones would heal on their own) to use adhesive Coban as a splint...

I’m sorry guys. I was at petco and then went to Home Depot to get the basking lights and fixtures but had to leave suddenly due to an emergency call I got regarding a family member. I didn’t get all the stuff I needed. I’m so sorry. I’ll get it done as soon as I can.

Sorry I just hadn’t heard it worded like that before. I understand what you mean now

what do you mean by getting my temps dialed in

So get a 45watt?

I’m going today to buy new lights and fixtures. I know what I need to get for UVB but is this a good fixture and bulb for basking?

As long as it goes back in, he will be fine

This sounds like a good way to save money. Im definitely going to try this

Thank you! But I think I was corrected earlier that he’s actually 5-6 months old lol. My mistake

Yeah. Hold him by the back of the head (not squeezing or pushing, just making sure his head doesn’t move) and weasling the end of the syringe on the side of his jaw into his mouth by gently pushing down on the lower jaw. I tried it with Robert when I got home and he was very Compliant with me...

Alrighty just got done at the vet. Good news. The vet said as long as I keep feeding him his supplements like I’m supposed to then he should improve. Because of his lack of appetite I’m going to be crushing up his bugs and feeding them to him through a syringe until he starts eating normally...

I understand that I’m new to all this and don’t know everything despite the research I’ve done. I only want to make sure Robert gets better. :))

Time for the vet trip. Gonna cover up most of the cage so he sleeps during the trip.(hour drive) but I’ll leave some of it open for fresh air flow

Yeah and sometimes the crickets choose just to eat the flukers over the actual gutloading food You put in. So then they’re not getting the nutrients they need, thus your Cham isn’t getting the nutrients he needs.

I will keep that in mind. Thank you!

Right now, I am using papaya, blackberries and collard greens. I'm having bug burger shipped to me. I stopped using flukers because it was on the list of things not to use.

Just wanting to know how often you guys switch your gutloading mix out for a fresh mix. After a day? 2 days? Also, I notice the supers and crickets don't seem to take much interest in the mixes after the first few hours. They'll eat a lot for like an hour or two, and then lose complete interest...
