Trust me, I'm not a saint. If I was, my Blue would have never been ill. UPDATE: Removed Blue from his small cage. Good grip, had to untangle him carefully. Put him on the ficus and gave him a good 25 minute shower. He drank some water on his own. YAY! Didn't want to let go of ficus...

Thank you Devious Mike for your comment. It's the first LOL I've had in two days.

Sunday 10:00 a.m. Room Temperature 75 degrees. Temperature in cage: 80 degrees Blue is upright and clinging to vine. Grip very strong when I tried to remove him. Gave him Panacur. Made fresh bug juice and fed him. Evidence of poo and urates on paper toweling. Eyes are still quite...

Beautiful set up. Lucky (and good looking) Thor!

We decided not to run the space heater all night due to safety concerns. I'm Heating this room up to 75 degrees tonight. Current temperature in room is 69 degrees..

Should I put a space heater near by to warm up that spot? Or I can put him in a small bathroom and use the space heater?

Sorry. I've been rattled all day.

UPDATE 6:49 p.m. Lights out, room heated at 63 degrees. Cham resting on stick, breathing regularly.

Thank you!

Bluetooth is resting quietly after being offered bug juice. Do I keep his heat source on all night? Or should I put his cage on a heating pad and leave that on Medium?

UPDATE: I gave him bug juice at 1 p.m. He's upright, holding onto the low perch, breathing steadily.

UPDATE: I gave him a 30 minute misting in the shower. Returned him to his cage, bumped up the heat and will monitor that temperature. I've covered the cage and put him in a quiet location.

I called the vet's office, my rep vet is off today. Nothing new/different to suggest to me from them. I set him up in the smaller cage, and bumped up the heat, which I'll monitor. I'll try giving him the shower treatment. i'm to give the panacure once a day for a week

I just called the vet's and no one has any real suggestions. I have a small (never used) bird cage I can put him in. It would be possible to heat it and control the humidity much better in that. I'll try making the bug juice stuff. Thanks all of you--wish me luck. I did make an appointment...

I was just shutting off the lights in Bluetooth's cage, when I noticed his color had changed and he was upright on the towel I'd set him on. This morning before I thought he'd died, I had given him the medicine and carefully fed him water with a syringe. HELP! My vet is closed today...

I misted him 3 times daily and he had a dripper also. I work from home, so I was able to do this regularly.

One of my favorite chams, my sweet Nosy Be, died this morning in my hands. I found him at the bottom of his cage. I noticed he had no appetite for a few days, but I made sure he was hydrated. I took him to my rept vet yesterday and she said he was slightly dehydrated. She took the poop...

Thinking I'm wrong about the egg laying. I fed her 6 crickets yesterday and she gobbled them up. So her appetite is still there.

For my purposes, I'm going to continue this thread. Is she gravid or just a full bodied girl? MY SET UP: 24x24x48 inch screen sided cage. Some fake vines. Branch inserted into bucket should she need to climb out. 5 gallon bucket filled 12 inches with mixture of sand, organic soil and eco...

After setting up the "birthing chamber" I got Bacall out and tried to weigh her. She didn't want to let go of me so the weighing didn't happen. I palpitated her belly, but felt nothing like eggs. I think maybe she's just chubby? She's about 8 1/2 months old. Maybe I jumped the gun?
