I could have used your sister’s skill when my poor pup needed his big tumor covered so he wouldn’t keep licking at it.
Best I could do was longer sleeved doggy t shirts (with a ladies sanitary pad stuck inside to absorb the drainage). It was on his lower shoulder.
His snood when he shook his...
I recently had to give one of mine the same med and even though I have decades of experience giving injections to humans, I hated and was nervous about giving them to my cham. I found that taking him out of his enclosure for it was the worst for the both of us. So, I left him in his enclosure...
Your guy should be okay. It’s possible that she didn’t truly drop him, but that he may have become overly stressed and threw himself to the floor as a last ditch attempt to escape the giant predator. Chameleons will do this when in trees and while it freaks us out, they are usually just fine.
In case of prolapse, soaking in a sugar water helps to shrink the prolapsed tissues. While prolapses aren’t a terribly common occurrence, it’s not a bad addition to have in a first aid kit. I’m surprised by the number of homes I’ve been in where they don’t have sugar.
I’m not sure how you would plan for a tornado or power outage , since those are random surprise events. However, some keep a ‘bug out’ bag at the ready in case of needing to move your chameleon for evacuation. A mesh pop up hamper with zipper closure makes for a convenient emergency enclosure...
Silkworms are awesome staple feeders and up there with roaches for nutrition. Superworms are great for treats as they are quite fatty and more like a ‘candy’ for reptiles. Supers can bite, but usually chameleons know enough to aim for their head. Silkworms do not bite. Another great feeder for...
Not to be a jerk, but I am curious…looking back on your previous posts, you have had so many issues and problems with breeding, so why are you still doing this? The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Have you provided absolute privacy for her? If she sees anyone or anything else makes her feel unsafe, she will stop digging. There is only a limited amount of time that her hormones which tell her to dig are active. She may be having a physiological problem. Most definitely a vet visit asap is...
I can’t be the only one who has the craziest of dreams about my chameleons. I’ve had quite a few and most are awful in one way or another (massively over-populated bug colonies escaping everywhere, chams being stolen, the tiniest most awful enclosures, bizarre chameleon shows/contests, etc). The...
Hi there. I’m guessing that your chameleon has mbd, which is causing his casque to collapse. This is serious and it would be best to go over all of your husbandry in order to make sure everything is correct and/or corrected. If he indeed does have mbd, it is eventually fatal. It’s hard to tell...
Of course, my favorite is silkworms. Who can be afraid of the soft gentle white caterpillars that move slowly? 😊 They can be a bit difficult to keep alive, so for back up maybe have some superworms. While they are very fatty and just for treats, they do last a long time and are not terribly...
