Like everyone says watch lol so there's no escapees. And just put one at a time on the screen cage near him and they'll usually kind of move about, and they seem to get pretty interested by the movement. That's how I got my chams trained to hand feed. Although my male cham's a fatty and eats...
We really do appreciate everyone's positive words and wishes :) By the way we have decided to call her Hope. (I know this sounds cheesy, sorry) we all love chams and want them to be as healthy as they can be, that's what brings us together. So even if you're wondering how things got to this...
I would totally do this but our boy Bruce sees water and immediately starts running away to hide under everything he can. He'll drink secretly. However our female Betty just loves water. She acts like she prefers it over air. So I might try this on her! She would probably love it. Good idea!
Agreed! Haha I had a similar escape from my veileds when I was fixing their cage up at the pet store I work at. They were just babies and all of a sudden we turn around and one of them had managed to open up the box and get out! And further more go hide!!! So there we were 45 minutes, 3 people...
How old is he? You can usually tell by their colors. Plus they will also kind of puff up when they are irritated. Most likely it sounds like something spooked him a bit.
And that's why we're so sensitive about this little chameleon. We did ever thing we could for ours. We even had him on life support. But they saw how much we cared about him and did a free autopsy and relieved us that it was nothing we did and he was a normal chameleon. He just had a hemi-peen...
Lol all of this is true. But then you become addicted and they're like you're children. And then you just start seeing more cute faces and you end up with a giant family. If that makes sense... Haha
