would it be sufficient for the critters to be fed preformed vitamin A which I presume would be passed onto your cham. If so how? Would a little bit of hardboiled egg every once in a while be sufficient for your cham to get the vit A that it needs? What is the best scource of vitamin A for a...

confused I am a tad confused here. Please could someone dumb this down for me.....Does too much vitamine A cause gular edema ... or is it too little preformed vitamin A which causes gular edema?:confused:

Well I find it mysterious LOL! Tilly layed again yesterday 72 eggs OMG! I have not been feeding her as much (the equivelent of maybe 4 crickets per day with one day per week with no food) Hmmm maybe I need to reduce the temp in there too. She was not nearly so exhausted after laying this time...

Tele-sales (Inbound calles) for a big company. I am in awe of Royden. I am a wanna be artist LOL. Working full time and taking care of all our animals does not leave me enough time at the moment to draw tho' :( I must start making time again!!!!! I miss it a lot! Maybe if I stop sleeping LMAO

Cheers ^__^ So basically I did do everything right LOL. I just presumed that when Tilly had such a large clutch of eggs (60) at such a young age (5 months) that [I] had miss understood somewhere along the line. She certainly does not seem to be any the worse for the ordeal now and I am guessing...

I was not aware when I first got a female cham that a restricted diet was important for her health. I was under the impression that all young chams, male and female would not over eat and did indeed need quite a lot of good quality food because they were growing fast. Sorry if this has been...

well lots of great advice here already. I am not quite as brave as most owners it would seem LOL. I can not handle the crickets and have never done the removing of legs thing either. I do have diposable surgical type gloves which I wear to handle crickets although a sandwhich bag over my hand...

Tilly has tried a wasp but I wouldn't offer them to her deliberatley! wasps!

Thanks for the useful links Kinyonga :) There is lots of information on the internet about nuts. You might find this interesting http://www.nutnutrition.com/nutrition/nutrients.htm

Thanks thats very useful! Nuts and sunflower seeds are all things that I have in the house for me to eat anyway LOL. As far as I know... almonds contain quite a bit of calcium but hazelnuts are not as calorific. I guess just offering a good mixture of different sorts of nuts is the way to go...

beautiful looking chams! I love the last picture you posted :)

Hey thanks for your imput. No fish flakes LOL. I will have another look when I go shopping for chickory now :)

collards and endive? I hear these names over and over again but I have no clue where you buy these from LOL. Ofcause I can buy ready made gut load (I will bear your suggestion in mind). my critters get what ever is about really... sweetpotato, watercress, carrot, dandilions, curly Kale, apple...

What kind of nuts are OK to use in gutload for your critters? And are there any nuts which should be avoided?

Well you could always grow them yourself I guess? Dandilions are the hardiest weeds I know so I doubt if it would kill them where ever or however you grew them. They are not houseplants but a tub of dandilions on the kitchen windowsil wouldnt look so bad!

Im for the UK also :) Warrington, Cheshire!

Tilly gives a little annoyed sigh sometimes when I take her out of her viv. It's not a hiss. She does not puff up or anything but I take it to be an indignant 'Humph how inconciderate to move me' kind of sigh.:D

My girl is called Tilly. I was supposed to be getting a male veiled but there was a mix up and the little guy that was being saved for me got sold!!! I was thinking along the lines of Mr Peabody or Pogue or Pogel LOL. I don't know why I chose Tilly for her. I guess she just looks like a Tilly ^__^

Thanks! I was a just a bit concerned when i saw just how much of the oats they were eating. I do always give them fresh fruit and veg of some description for moisture.

Is it OK to use oats instead of bran in with the critters? The last lot of crickets I bought were really starving and demolished a bunch of dandilion leaves and a piece of carrot with in minutes! So I had to feed them again LOL. I did not have time to sort them properly into their home when they...
