Well before the pate feeding, he hadn't eaten anything for about a week and a half. And it has only been pate that has been going into him for the last week. If its from food, its from that. As far as from other places for parasites to appear from, he drinks bottled water, eats only the pate...

No. Or at least... Not yet.

In a word? Yes. So do beardies. :)

Oh son of a b*tch. I havent tested it before, but he is normally perfectly fine. I think it is this paté stuff we are feeding him, it smells offensive going in, so it makes sense for it to smell offensive coming out. However, now you mention it, ill get a fecal test when i take him to...

Yeah, they did. Gave us a bit of a scare at first, but he is fine and running around now. The fun part was having to lift up his back end while he was pooping without getting it on your hands. (He had curved himself right round a branch and his hemipenes were rubbing on the vine, so i lifted him...

Woah. So, my vet told me last week that Gizmo was a boy, but to be honest i still wasnt that sure of it myself. Well, i can certainly confirm that now. He just pooped so hard his penis(es) popped out. So, naturally, i took a picture. They really surprised me at first, they are enormous! So...

Recovery Gizmo is still on his eating regime, and he did his first poop in ages just now. Enormous, and it really did smell like ASS :mad:. Completely stunk out my bedroom now :D He is also using his legs now, rather than dragging himself along, and seems to be making a recovery, which is...

Joined. Im the one with a chameleon on my face as my pic :D

Ok, so i just tried to force-feed him a powdered locust. Not a particularly large one either. Opened his mouth up and put the locust in, he chewed it once or twice and spat it out. So i tried again, same thing. He kept spitting the locust out, even on the third try, so i stopped so i didnt...

I think the idea of keeping the key around your wrist in memory of her is beautiful. However, i wouldnt dig her up, i think it would bring back bad memories of her death, and seeing her in a decomposed or skeletal state would be pretty awful for me.

Im well aware of that Kinyonga, i mean i could ask the vet to see how well his blood-calcium levels are doing in the future, not do it myself :P I just gave him a bath in warm water to see if it would help him do a poo, because he hasnt done one in a while even though i know a fair bit of food...

Well there is plenty of calcium going into the guy, but it doesnt seem to be making much difference. Might be able to get a shot of calcitonin at the vet, but i think it might still be a bit too early as we have only been force-feeding him a week. Ill have a go at giving him a bug tonight.

She gave me the high-protein paté stuff and a fresh pot of nutrobal and told me to force feed him it once a day, 1.5ml. I thought that that was a bit low so i feed him twice a day (morning and afternoon) with 2-2.5 ml depending on how much he eats. When i put the paté stuff in his mouth with...

I took my cham to a vet and as confirmed that mine had MBD.

I have a few points you need to address: a) This new 3 foot terrarium you are getting: is it an aluminium/nylon screen mesh cage, or a glass one? You shouldnt keep chameleons in a glass tank, as they see reflections and get stressed. b) What make/model is your lighting? You probably want a...

Damn. I was hoping someone would be able to tell me how to get him back onto normal food. If anyone else has any experience with force feeding chams? Where can you get hold of liquid calcium? I hear it is much better than the powdered stuff?

Its calcinate, i looked it up before going to the vets. Gluconate would be sugar :P So you had to force feed your cham for 6 months then? My Gizmo moves around, but struggles, but he wont eat. Drinks on his own though. I dont think it is that severe as i think we caught it quite early. He is...

My first was a male Meller's Chameleon. Ive had him for 2 years now, currently struggling against MBD, but will hopefully have him for many more years!

Mbd I posted earlier in this thread about my Meller's who has MBD at the moment. Im force feeding mine high-protein food with NEW nutrobal mixed in twice a day, 2ml a feed. Im assuming this is how you guys managed to get your chams out of MBD and back into health, as this is what my vet...

I have... 1.0 Mellers Chameleon: Gizmo 2.0 Beagle Cross Dogs: Jasper and Patch 1.0 Florida Kingsnake: Monty But i used to have loads more, and im hoping to get another Meller's after university!
