Yes, like a q-tip but longer and with a wooden stalk. A tongue depressor would work also, but would be harder to work around as it blocks off much more of the mouth.
Feldman is a solid little chunk of chameleon now. He is 12.5" + now at approximately 14 months old.
I mix Prozyme, a digestive enzyme in with the C.C. My Vet set me up with a ball tipped needle and syringe for feeding. This insures that the food gets in the stomach without any chance of...
Having a meter also helps me with placement of limbs and perches. I try to position the upper branches and vines where they get around 35 micro watts of UVB.

I assume you using a feeding tube on a syringe?
My guy has had a couple of long term bouts with refusing to eat. After a couple of blood tests revealed very high blood sugar levels, the vet feels Feldman has pancreatitis and likely diabetes. He thinks his reluctance to eat could be brought...

I just measured my 5 month old Reptisun 5.0 and had a measurement of 34 microwatts at 8'' through the screen. I use an Arcadia reflector that is...
My Vet has had Feldman on it for sometime now. He has his own instructions on the pouch. He said I could refrigerate mixed product for up to 24 hours and unmixed formula in the freezer until ready to use. F has actually been able to put on some weight with it.
I have a hunch much of the information gets mined from Facebook.
