Well, I understand no one wants to be harsh. Pets are a huge responsibility that really can't be met by a teenager working alone. I understand that he's offended by that statement. I simply mean if you don't have the financial resources to care for an animal you shouldn't keep one. If you are 16...
I just went back and re read this whole thread. Twice you said you would call the vet or the humane society about relinquish them. Did you ever do that? If not I bet I could call and set something up sooner than two weeks. If you are serious about releasing them then PM me with a number I could...
I'm glad to hear the enclosure is not bare. When you said no foliage I assumed you meant fake or alive. When I say I don't think you are serious... I offered to take both animals but still you are only releasing one. Why the need to hold onto this chameleon that you think is ready to die. I'm...
Again depends on his personality. To start I would just put a few in at a time. You don't have to touch them, I only hand feed worms because I don't have any desire to touch roaches or crickets. A healthy juvenile should eat 12 a day. When they are adults they will eat less and sometimes not...
I don't have personal experience but.. There was a post a few days ago about a stuck sperm plug. The advice was to give him a warm bath to try and soften it. Keep it lubricated with vasilene so it doesn't get hard and dried. Repeat until you can remove it. If it's really inpacted and you don't...
You can't keep them outside in the winter but just so you are aware. Feeder roaches will not survive if they escape. You would have to keep your house heated to 80 degrees all the time. I live in Florida and they won't survive in my house because of the air conditioning. I took one and put it in...
Where do you live? If you are in a warm state you could do a lot of wild bugs. Just be sure you are collecting in a pesticide free area and you bring in fecal samples to a vet several times a year. I understand not wanting to keep anything in your house. The only other solution would be to buy...
The fact that you have no money is a part of being 16. Not listening to sound advice when you are asking is part of being 16. I simply meant maybe the adults in your life might help you with a trip to the vet or to the humane society. This has been going on for quite some time. What's the plan...
You could do silkworm, hornworms and Phoenix worms. Blue bottle flies would give him some hunting. What about stick bugs for a little crunch.
Is the opposition because you are grossed out by them? Trust me, it's not that bad. I thought it would be a bigger hurdle for me but I make it my...
When my vet weighed my Cham they used a small perch. It was made of wood dowels connected to make a box shape. Elvis just perched on it while they weighed him. He seemed comfortable because he had something to grab.
I would take that fantastic offer from NHenn. You are going to get the optimal environment for your Cham. That's going to be your best chance of turning him around.
Thank you, they are easy to catch and they are everywhere all of the sudden. I've been giving my guy dragonflies and while netting them I kept catching these. I will see if Elvis likes them tomorrow.
