Still no food ?
Johnjo must be the most stubborn Cham in the uk it will be three weeks next Monday since I stopped offering him supers. He is still drinking well and active but isn't giving in yet you would think he must be really hungry by now and eaten a cricket or dubia etc but nothing...
No I'm not going to give in It's hard but we have gone this far like you say if he was really hungry he would eat what's offered and I'm sure he won't starve himself to death. I adore my pets and he is my responsibility I will always do what's best for him and I know this is variety so I'm going...
i just give johnjo a good shower and once i put him back he did a poop yay :)
it looks normal brown in colour and white urate so at least i know he is not impacted now and bowel movements are ok.
Ive always offered him variety like to say giving him say 2 locusts 2 supers and 2 roaches but he would always just eat the supers and leave the other feeders. After reading on here that supers are not a very good feeder and should not be fed as a staple diet more as treats this is why i have...
The thing is as he hasn't eaten in over a week so he hasn't defaecated therefore I wouldn't be able to have a faecal sample done or can they do it via blood test ? He is still drinking alert and active and has only stopped eating since I stopped offering the supers.
How long did it take for your Cham to start eating other foods ? It will be 2 weeks on Monday since I have stopped offering supers and so far he hasn't eaten anything and not shown any interest in the other feeders I'm offering. I'm trying not to worry but it is hard wish he would just eat some...
Thanks for your replies he is drinking well alert and active and not showing any signs of dehydration his eyes are round and not sunken.the fat pads are still protruding too. I haven't had him tested for parasites as he hasn't eaten anything in the last week he hasn't defaecated so haven't got a...
I've always offered him Crickets and locusts which he use to eat as well as supers when offered them but then he stopped eating the crickets etc. I've tried dubias and silkies as well as butterworms but he has just shown no interest at all. Still trying hoping he will get hungry enough soon to...
Thank u for your replies I feed him every other day so have still been doing this even though I'm trying the other feeders. How long should I carry on for if he's not eating ?
I have a 11 month old male panther Cham who has become really fussy only really eating supers although I offer him a variety of different feeders which are all gutloaded . So a week ago I decided to stop offering him the supers and just offer him other feeders to see if I could get him...

hi my male panther cham is 11 months old. I feed him every other day but he is fussy and wont really eat anything except supers at the moment, i still offer him a variety of other feeders all gutloaded and he will eat the occassional locust cricket but rarely. i was just wondering how much he...
yea he is great i didnt think i could get so attached to a lizard but when we moved into our house my other half said lets get a lizard as he always wanted one but his parents wouldnt let him so we got 2 rankin dragons but really wanted a chameleon so we got johnjo a year later and he is part of...
have you tried looking on reptile forums uk www.rfuk.co.uk sometimes they have chameleon breeders on there and all based in the uk. Ive got a male panther chameleon and i found his breeder by checking www.preloved.co.uk classifieds and i also found some breeders on reptile classifieds hope this...

thats so nice to hear as he is being a bit fussy at the moment gone off crickets and locusts and was worried he maybe not be gaining enough weight for his age, but eats supers but will only eat 1-2 a day but trying not to feed him too many still offering/trying to encourage him to eat other...
