I don't blame you! After dealing with these little pests, I'm a bit hesitant to keep this ficus at all... or bring any new ones into my house. I'm thinking a switch to umbrella tree may be in order.

Glad to share... I just don't want others to get the same shock that I had when I saw them.

My girlfirend and I just spent and hour and a half tediously combing through and pruning our veiled chameleon's Benjamin Ficus. The reason? I found a cluster of small (roughly flea sized) bugs on one of the leaves. After some impressive Google-fu by my girlfriend we identified the tiny...

I ordered them from great lakes and the guy there is very nice, I emailed him and asked if he could make sure that they were on the smaller side so that my little guy would be able to handle them... he was happy to oblige :D

Actually as soon as I saw the first dropping with no urates attached, I immediately ordered some hornworms. They will be here today, so I'm going to give that a try this evening. He's never had them before, I hope he likes them. Lol. He's eaten mango in the past... perhaps I'll see if he's...

I did look around and couldn't find anything... it was with 3 separate droppings over the last few days. One of them dropped to the floor of the cage without hitting any leaves, and there were no urates to be found

Sorry for the bump, I wanted to make sure some of the experienced keepers had a chance to weigh in before the thread for buried

Wow!!! That is a phenomenal tutorial, I'm about to move into a new house and will be setting up a free range there. This has some amazing ideas in it. Thank you for sharing

Is that a Furcifer madhattica, native to Wonderland? It is my understanding they they tend to enjoy a afternoon tea with a dubia crumpet

Chameleon Info: -Your Chameleon - 4.5 month old male veiled, I've had him about 2.5 months -Handling - I only handle him about once a month long enough to take him out and put him in his small temporary enclousure for an hour while I fully clean his normal enclosure -Feeding - He eats...

Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that... I've been there twice with Chams. It's never easy... my heart goes out to you. I do appreciate the advice. Hopefully it'll help get my little guy back to proper health.

Hey there camimom did you ever figure out a good way to get you cham rehydrated? I'm dealing with a similar issue with my 4 month old veiled... I think he's just mildly dehydrated at the moment... no sunken eyes or anything yet, but I'm trying to prevent it from getting to that point. One of...

I absolutely think most people do, myself included. It's in human nature to do so unfortunately. We care for our Chams as if they are our children and therefore form a love of them that we wish to see reciprocated. Because we are looking for it, it is easy to misinterpret their instinctual...

That's awesome! I started reading this thread not realizing it was from a month ago. I was really worried for your little guy! I'm glad to see that he got better (and that I don't have to wait a month to find out what happened. Lol) I'm sure you and your fella are relieved :D

So, we've decided that a cricket colony is in our best interest. I've read the how-to's on breeding them but still have a couple of questions. I have my main colony in a huge bin... I separated out 25 females and 5 males into a smaller bin for breeding, I put a dish with an inch of moist...

+1 :D I use the same thing and for the same reason

Oops. Old thread... I really need to start looking at dates :rolleyes:

Wax worms and meal worms are quite different. Wax worms are quite fatty and while most chams seem to love them, they are kind of like junk food. They should only be fed in moderation. Meal worms are not very good feeders. While I've never heard that there is any problem with digesting them...

Use a large bucket or tub fill it with water and a mild detergent. Turn the plant upside down and "swish" it around in the water throughly. Take it out and give it a good rinse and then "swish" it again. Then rinse the plant a couple of good times with clean water. Also make sure that you...

Oops, I didn't see this before posting the question in my last response. lol
