Hey everyone! :D
Our 6 month old panther Zephyr has been acting pretty crazy lately as he is entering sexuality, and this morning was just another example. We walked by his room today and noticed that he was gnawing on a small piece of cardboard that we use to make sure that the crickets don't...
Hey everyone,
Thanks for the input. We went out to get Zephyr all fake plants for his cage and we are getting him a new plant just so it doesnt feel so artificial for him. We are going to contact our vet about Ponazuril and I will definately look up more information about it on the site...
Hey everyone,
We got a call today from the vet and Zephyr's 3rd fecal test came back positive for coccidia. He has been put on medication for this, 0.04ml of "tribrissen suspension", once a day for two doses, then every-other-day for a month. We have been instructed how to administer the...
Hey guys. Went to BigAl's today and they are able to order them in. We were going to get a few but they are $35 so we are going to try to see what the reptile show at the end of April has to offer. They didn't seem to know much about the discontinuation but that does not really surprise me...
Hey everyone!
We can't seem to locate a new bulb for Zephyr's cage. Our herp guy said that they were being discontinued in Canada, and he was showing us a new light we should get. Does anyone have any more info on this issue? Did they just change names? We can only find Repti-Lights at the...
We are currently giving my cam tests for parasites through the vet because he had a prolapse on monday (3/4 tests came back negative), I have a picture that I took yesterday of the semen plug stuck to his bum after he pooped if you want to see... its not surrounding the poo but it gives a...
mucus?
Hey, We saw this coming from out 6 month male panther the last few days as well *spring is in the air* Sometimes it gets stuck, but you can just leave it, and he will get it off on his own. :)
He sucked "it" back in right away. We assumed that it was his bowel, but I am also going to look into the hemipene. In your experience, is it likely to happen again once it has happened once? His tail is not short, but hopefully everything is the right porportion.
Thanks for the advice on the impaction Julirs. She did compliment his rather larger package, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this soon. The xray did not show an impaction, maybe it can be related to his bulge? She spoke about a suture. Is this a common procedure?
Thanks for the links...
We should all start a juvie club :P. We are also wondering, because our 6 month old male eats around 10 1/4- 1/2'' crickets a day, and a few *silkworms here and there. This seems to be pretty average, most threads don't really have an answer, because they are so transitional at this age, but at...
Our crickets eat better than we do! They get a good mix of collard greens, kale, oranges, and carrots. We have a list of feeders and mix it up everytime we go shopping. :) We already have Zephyr on a repti-calcium every-other-day.( without D3), and we also give him minerall with d3 twice a...
:)
He is a big cricket guy, but he is just getting into worms. (he never really cared about them before) He likes silkies now because he got used to them being in his cage (he likes his privacy). He was not into other worms (supers) we tried when he was younger, but we are going to introduce...
We already give Zephyr silk worms every once and a while. (every other week or so he gets a few) We are going to start buying them more often to increase his calcium. Sorry if I have been unclear, but Zephyr has not been having pooping problems. He pooped yesterday and we cleaned the cage...
