My little guy hisses at me and snaps to bite my hand everytime I approach him,,,,unless I got a bowl full of critters of course!!!
However,,,,my wife can always get him out on her first try,,,and once out,,he has no issue with crawlling all over my hands and arms!!!
Im thinkin you should try to feed him before evening time also,,,i try to get all my feedings done by at least 3ish so that my guy gets a good 3 to 4 hours of light to digest his food before beddy byes!!!!
And ya,,,25-28 celsius max is way more than enough heat!!!
Yes Tina,,,he looks like a mighty fine specimen of a Cham!!!
Somebody just posted about a similar situation and all it took to get their cham back into an eating machine was a flying insect!!! Find a moth or a big fly or let a worm turn into a moth,,,makesure its not a worm that turns into a...
How old is you guy??
If he is young you arent feeding him enough!!!
Should get into the habit of using a Calcium supplement every day and a Calcium with d3 every second week and a vitamin every second week!!!!
Put the drip system back in as well as spraying the plants a few times a...
Ya,,,i think around 7 months old you need to get them into a minimum 3 foot high cage,,,,My Jimmie used to and now my Guber scratches at the glass from time to time!!!! But Jimmie went into his big boy cage around 6-7 months old and Guber will follow suit!!!!
when your cham reaches about 6 nor 7 months he will be big enough for full sized crickets,,,thats when i started feeding Jimmie full sized!!! However with Guber,,,I think I am gunna feed him a more diverse assortment of feeders,,,and keep crickets no bigger that between one quarter and half...
Sad story indeed!!!
I agree with mcbdz,,,start over and get everything perfect,,research till your eyes bleed,,then find a breeder for your next cham!!!
Similar situation happened with my first cham(RIP Jimmie),,,bad advice from unknowledgeable pet store knowitalls,,,and too long to find a vet...
yup,,,just leave the crickets in the cup,,,jammed between a couple of branches and leave,,,,my little guy is just turning 10 weeks old,,,,and hes eatting about 20 to 30 1/4 crickets a day,,,,I feed him a cup full twice a day,,,,btw,,,,what size are the crickets you are feeding her??? Good rule...
I dont think its about the enclosure,,,perhaps letting her get used to her new home for a couple of weeks would be beneficial,,,,ive heard they can take a couple days to eat after being moved to a new home!!! How are you feeding her?? Perhaps try cup feeding her,,,oh and you might want to get...
Ive read that too much calcium isnt supposed to be bad for chams,,,,,however,,,I have also read that too much d3 will become an issue for chams,,,,and,,,along with you reptiglo`s,,,,and your daily supplementation of d3,,,,this could be an issue to ammend!!!
Ya thats what happened to me also,,,,they made a nest cave in the background I had in my cage!!!
Filled the holes with an animal friendly sealing caulk,,,just gotta move the cham for a couple days,,,back into his/her litlle boy cage while it hardens,,,i found it at Lowes,,,,
