They are illegal in the US? Why? Im from the UK and i use locusts as my chams staple diet.

Mbd My little Meller's cham is currently battling MBD. His case is quite mild because we caught it early and got him to a vet, but he is still recovering. Getting stronger every day though, so im hoping he will make a quick and total recovery! Heres some pics of him with his MBD...

I have a single male Meller's named Gizmo. He rocks! I would love more, but not an option at the moment because im going off to university soon :(

I found this site via the MD site. MD is how i learnt about meller's chameleons and is what ultimately led me to getting gizmo. The information on the UV guide seems a bit convoluted and technical, but as far as i can tell from http://www.uvguide.co.uk/mercvapourfloods.htm#zoomedpowersun it...

His powersun is being changed next month anyway because of the 6month lifespan. The powersun lamps have always seemed to work very well for me, so i doubt ill change it for the moment. When i change to a larger set up in a few months im going to get some tube lighting like you said.

I am aware that it has an expiry date on the bottom, but apparently that is just the 'Shelf Life' of the tub, ie, how long they can sell it. Once you open the tub, the vitamins just decay in a few months. Scary :/

The 'caté' as i have dubbed it is mixed in with some fresh Nutrobal, so it has plenty of goodness in it. How would you give a cham liquid calcium supplement? Mix it in with their water? Or just dunk their food in it or syringe-feed them it? Im not sure how the vet decided he was male, but she...

My chameleon is always randomly yawning. The best thing is that sometimes after eating a locust or two he opens his mouth real wide and does a little hiccupping movement. I call them 'bugburps'.

I cant be sure about other D3 supplements, but i was shocked to hear that too. Maybe thats why his calcium deficiency has arisen. Having said that, Nutrobal comes in a fairly large pot for just one cham, so i have had the same pot for just under a year and a half, without previous problems. I...

The Vets! Gizmo is back from the vets! Here are some things i learnt while i was there: Gizmo is a boy! :) Gizmo has no broken bones! :) Gizmo can get away with fondling the vets! :p Gizmo has calcium deficiency :( The D3 in Nutrobal 'goes off' after a few months! :eek: Gizmo is...

I use nutrobal for my chameleon, and i would suggest using it less often than a pure calcium powder because of all of the vitamins in it. Maybe use nutrobal once a fortnight, but get hold of another calcium powder that does not contain phosphorus or D3, or any other vitamins, and use this to...

The powersun is only a few months old. Definately younger than 6 months, because the last one broke :( Gizmo seems fairly happy with the cage, but i was thinking of upscaling soon anyway, before i go to university. The bark is fairly big peices, he couldnt get one in his mouth if he tried...

I have a 2 year old Meller's Chameleon named Gizmo. Had him/her (we arent sure of gender) for 1 and a half years now, captive bred and has always been in perfect health. To be honest, i havent been looking after him as well as i should have been, and now i think there is a problem with his...
