I think I found the reason as to why she was so weak. I felt arond her neck and at one point it felt almost like it caved it. I believe it might've been fractured or broken. She was swimming fine then all of a sudden she was swaying and couldn't swim upright so i took her out of the tub and put...
any specific kind of shavings? I know some animals don't do well with certains kinds. Im more knowledgable with herps not fowl unfourtunately. Shes swimming in the tub right now, much more chipper then before. How could I present the food to her I believe my brother scared her with his grip so...
Lol okay. Curious though the corn seems a bit big for her and she seems very uninterested should i crush it a bit? I was thinking of getting a hand feeder of sorts9similar to a dropper, maybe it'd help start her off.The pollution here is terrible so im guessing it mightve gotten her sick. Right...
I think I'll start with the corn. Luckily I found a couple feed stores close by im hopeing that they'll carry the food I need for her , or really it, im not actually sure :o but thankyou so much you've given me a good starting point.
If only i could ;) I had to stand by and watch him almost strangle her but I've got to try and be patient. The woes of such a large age gap makes me wonder why have kids so late lol but thankyou for your input I appreciate it. :)

Personally, Id stick with captive bred feeders. You have a better idea of where they came from, what they are, and their nutritional value(thought you might have to do some research). I wouldn't take a chance on a wild caught insect, it's simply a risk that isn't worth taking. I believe that...
You know your addicted when....
You checkout every book about chameleons in the county
You spend top dollar for "your babies"
You sneak a peak every chance you get like a concerned parent
you're always on the lookout for a new addition
when their needs come before your own
Just a thought. But I've heard phoenix worms were quite high in calcium, I haven't used them personally but have heard good results from some friends of mine. I was thinking they might possibly help boost her calcium levels. Though regardless i'd still trying getting your hands on some liquid...
She looks so much better compared to the very first pictures of her. I commend what your doing, it's a wonderful thing that can be very rewarding for both parties and I can see great results on her part:D. Best of luck to you.:)
