Our cham has MBD and due to this is not eating a lot. ( most of you know her from this other thread https://www.chameleonforums.com/please-help-poss-impaction-veiled-female-67257/ but I haven't gotten any comments regarding this issue) She is eating some on her own still. For the last several...

I'm reading here and see leave the chin alone and such and I get off into chinchilla world and confused, lol. Okay, I'll get pics of the chin as well. The skin is sloughing and slightly necrotic from the trauma. I did get a pick of her "sagging lip" sorry it's not the best she wouldn't move...

This evening she wasn't doing it... but she was MAD! She was hissing at Hailey and hissing at me, lol. She ate one butter worm today on her own, there was another in the middle of her area, so I don't know if she tried to get it and it failed, or earlier she got her tail into the cup and...

So yesterday she ended up eating TWO butterworms! Yea! She doesn't seem to care for the pheonix worms though. Oh well, the butterworms got her eating so I'm not complaining! Any thoughts on her lip? I'm working today and school tonight, so I'll have a report again tonight probably, but am...

Some of you probably have seen our thread about Pascal's MBD, she is just starting to eat on her own again and I want to make sure we get a good balanced diet including any supplements or vitamins we need. She is about 4-5 months maybe about appx 6" vent to tail, so can't eat some bigger...

Okay, so I did some looking for open mouth, it's not "open" her bottom lip is sagging. When she's upset ( more people, when I took her out for her shot, etc ) then it's worse, if she's just sitting in there, it doesn't "sag". I am wondering if it's a Vit. A def. since she hasn't been eating a...

SHE ATE! We got our shipment of butterworms and pheonix worms today, and put them in her cup, perched her over it and she watched, was distracted by the people in the room ( both girls and my husband ) and after they left and things settled down she shot, and she hit! Got it in her mouth and...

I'm not really familiar with chams ( way newbie here), but since he/she hasn't been eating, if they're strong enough would be ideal to force feed pureed crickets? Also make sure they're drinking and getting water...

LOL, she's starting to get the hissing down... some day's she just gets very upset with me. Now that she's moving around better on her own I think I can probably set up her drinking drip system ( IV tubing... lol ) Before I was just worried she wouldn't be able to move to it when needed and I...

I think they are! Hopefully she'll get her tongue going again, we didn't see if she chomped or not, but eating on her own and being stronger is good!

Well tonight she seemed like she really wanted to eat, she got some good tongue movements in while drinking. I had homework to do so I put some worms in her cup and put her on her edge and thought well maybe if we just let her be and don't watch ( she's never been shy about eating before but you...

How funny David! Yes sometimes she grabs her other front hand and can't seem to remember to let so and plays a little "tug of war" with herself, it's not funny, but yet it is. I am not giving her mineral oil, that is her oral calcium supplement. I squeezed to hard and it all splurted every...

She was outside in her cage today and was working on climbing up the side... so it looks like maybe I'll need to put something around there so she can't, right now I'm afraid she'll fall and get hurt. But she is getting better at moving where she wants to, sometimes she'll get "stuck" some...

So far things have been about the same. She did drink yesterday, but didn't eat on her own, she watched but I didn't see her attempt. This morning we force feed her and got 6 in again, yea! But... while I was waiting for Hailey I looked down at Pascal and well her limbs still don't always go...

Yes I've "hobbled" crickets before, lol. I'm not scared. I did learn to pop, not pull or you get some "leakage". Ordered the worms, yea! We have a cup deal we use, not sure if it's the same as what you're talking about, I'll do some research, it's just tall enough they can't get out it's...

Today was a great day! Pascal pooped on her own without a shower! We did shot this morning, she wasn't thirsty, offers some worms, watched but that's it, so I left her for most of the day as I had homework and housework, girls' volleyball practice, then class and when we got home Hailey was...

How big are the butterworms? I like that you can store them in the fridge... am not sure how many to order either... hmmm... thanks!

This morning she was very thirsty again, before I offer her the syringe water I drip it into the cup so she knows it's coming and she knows what I'm reaching in for, and this time as soon as I got my hand in there her mouth was open wide. We tried some worms again, she licked her lips a little...

We considered mineral oil previously, after pooping earlier ( once in the past week ) she has not seemed as bloated and yes a lot of it is "show" because when she's comfortable, like when I'm just holding her or she's in her cage she is not as fat anymore, so I've been racking that up to the...

Last night was a long time, I have some health issues that sometimes flair up ( build up is probably more the right term ) so I ended up at class, then back home, slept for a while, did homework, then realized crap, Hailey's asleep and Pascal hasn't eaten yet! I open, she puts the food in, I...
