Cant buy hornworms in the uk. They are a considered an invasive pest. Shes very clever. She wont even open up to bite my finger if i put it on her mouth or on her a head or above it. That was dead cert getting bitten before. I will watch a video, i just worried i may hurt her forcing her jaw open

So I need to give liquid calcium twice a day by syringe into the mouth but my clever veiled has learnt if she threatens me by gaping or hissing thats when she gets the medicine so now shuts her trap like a clamp so I cant do it. Yay for not getting bitten but nightmare for getting her better...

Vet did warn me that its gonna take time and we may go through the same every time she needs to lay with the egg producing tipping the balance scales so to speak of the calcium stores, but he said we will cross that bridge when get there now we know the problem. He said where shes at at this...

Oh and got the vet to check her nose out. Probably a stuck bit of shed that got bateria trapped and took too long to heal due to how much energy she is using that she doesn't have stored. It's like a scar from a long scab but not infected or anything that needs treating. Poor thing is in the...

Well April to let you know how it went. The vet is called Paul Knott and was fantastic. His knowledge is amazing and the handling was great. He rotates around East Yorkshire in the humberside area his appointment costing 38 pound. The verdict, the poor husbandry from previous owners not...

Shes puffed up a lot. She looks tiny when running around. I did wonder if the lay bin may be a bit to exposed though and maybe should stick some fake plants in it. She does trek across it often to end up with muddy feet. We kept her sand one that was a bit small to make a climbing tree to come...

So as promised this is grumpy she right now and her lay bin full of dirt.

Gonna get her parasite tested if not too expensive just for piece of mind. For 38quid it is well worth it to not worry I think. He only has one appointment too so and with christmas coming better safe than sorry

Im in humberside in a village called south cave about 7 miles west of hull

Its 38 pounds for an appointment and i will see what he knows when i get there. Oh the drama that it's gonna be though, my cham is affraid of hands so hes gonna get bitten

Ive got an appointment with swanbridge vets at north ferriby on Wednesday. A guy called paul. Paul what i dunno but apparently he is an exotic vet and they deal with chameleons.

Got a pic yesterday of her running aroung the outside of her cage. Pg 2. Will try get one later when i get in. She started with the blue stripes on her casque about the 5th nov with blue and bright yellowspots down her back. Thats when the behaviour changed.

Tried silkworms, waxworms, superworms, crickets , calciworms and waxworm moths and wont touch now but did before. Only wants 1 hopper and sometimes a bit of watercress and green pepper but not much.

No probs.

Just copy n paste the front of this thread on the first post and adapt to you in a reply maybe (Im relatively new so I dont know the rules fully as i think for max help you really need your own thread with some pictures of set up n stuff cham) They will need to know stuff like temps, age, food...

Think you gotta fill in a form like mine at the beginning for help. Chams are funny beings for eatting and stuff and one thing has a knock on effect to everything else like eatting, health, behaviour.

Ok. That flushing thing doesn't sound great but getting poop I reckon might not be an option after not eatting as they were tiny before or just urate. I take it the poop needs to be fresh ish towards the vet appointment? What puzzles me is if she was becoming eggbound I read everywhere that...

Next question- sorry for so many. How long can she continue like this at 1 Hopper a day? I dont want to leave her alone and her die of starvation. I am going to try for the vet maybe wednesday onwards. In uk they r normally busy people. How to do a fecal test if it doesnt poop cus not eatting?

This her 14 november

She went for a run around the block yesterday and this is the latest picture of her in her break for freedom before she was put back. Oddly 2 weeks ago she didnt want to leave the cage. Now its like she wants to check everywhere for maybe i presumed a mate or somewhere to lay. She looks big in...
