sorry your baby didn't make it. you tried hard and he was loved until the end and i'm glad you are gonna try again. you might want to do a bit more studying about the dirt. my miss piss choked on the dirt from her cage bottom two days before i was going to take it out. needless to say, i...

i'm not sure about exploding their guts but look for a thread by dr. o. he tells of how the gel got stuck and blocked the gut. and they hold water and the cham doesn't get to use all the water they take in. the food you feed your cham should be no bigger than the space between it's eyes.

"Fired up" is definitely fitting term for your beautiful boy!

mbd is usually result of combination of things. even if you have done everything right and he doesn't have mbd, it is possible but not really common that he somehow broke the leg. x-rays are the only way to know what is going on for sure. vet costs vary greatly but my x-rays cost $60 -...

Welcome home!! glad it was just a blip:eek: guess with o2 tubing, your babies can hang out. :)

welcome to the forum! the plans you have for supplements sounds great for veiled but i know jacksons are a bit different so i'm sure someone will help you out. i couldn't view the pics? but over supplementation of the d3 can cause issues. stop with the daily d3 right away. better to...

sorry to hear this news. valiant effort on your part. glad you are looking forward to your addition to the family. they will be lucky to have you, as penelope was. rip little loved one.

welcome to the forum! sorry you had to start this way though. i,too, advise you to take the baby back. starting out with a sick baby is probably a sign of things to come in the future. and if you think you don' t have the money for vet care now, wait until he gets older! it can be...

even not feeling well, that boy is gorgeous!!! i love luie <3

so sorry for your loss, but you did the right thing. and you were so good to her. i recently lost my little love and it was so hard missing him i wasn't sure about getting another either. think of how good a life you can provide for the next lucky cham you take in... there is no way to...

sorry to say but i agree that your vet needs to take another look at the x-rays and look at the bone density. if you want to see for yourself why we are questioning your vet's opinion, check out some of the threads by CaptainMorgantown about his little girl, Jojo. I think you will see the...

wow, i thought hoj got hacked or somebody borrowing account somehow? duh! didn't look at the date... :) oops, silly me:o

we will share the joy wth you! lol

agreed! i didn't think about it maybe being closed in??? i was only thinking of it being fully screen cage with good airflow. you are right carol... :)

copy and paste the "form" and give your answer to each of the questions is the best way but you only have to do it at the beginning of the thread unless you change things alot or start another thread about the same critter. and, like elizadolots says, it is really handy to keep as a document...

waterfalls can be a problem for chams mostly because of the moving water. chams drink moving water and prefer to poop in moving water because it washes away the poop maybe. they don't understand the water is being cycled. so they are very likely to drink the poopy water and the filters don't...

I had a boy that would spit bugs out on vitamin days and if the crix were too heavily dusted with anything. vet said to concentrate on good gutloading of feeders and encouraging him to eat fruits an veggies. check out sandrachameleons blogs for good info about all that.

stinky poo and gooey poo once in a while is okay. if the feces stays stinky and/or gooey over any length of time is a good sign of parasites or other illness and maybe even over-hydration? but i think that is good in a already sick baby. when they excrete, the urate is encased in a bubble...

at least you got poo! and a good amount too. being sick, the poo looks great to me. nice white urates is most important and looks like that is what you got. keep up the good work and hopefully they will keep getting better for you.

dr.o told me mineral oil is not good for laxative. if they aspirate it, it won't be absorbed? use bits of juicy fruits like grape or pears. i keep a jar of pear baby food in the freezer and give a dab a couple of times a day and have always gotten results by the third day. keeping my...
