Hey everyone,
yesterday was pretty stressful for Zephyr. We had him out for a cage cleaning, and he seemed fine. We put him back into his cage and soon after, my boyfriend noticed that his anus was coming coming out of his bum and he was pushing really hard. We ran over, and he thankfully...
Hey Everyone! I am sorry that I have not responded sooner, school has been pretty hectic with essays these days. Since my inquiry, Zephyr has shed twice. The first shed followed the day that I originally posted/we cleaned his lip with warm water, (Feb 8th) so we opted out of a vet visit that...
cuteeeeeeeeeeee!
Thanks pshh! :)
I guess he just finds his cage "too clean" and tries to mess up the place a little just to annoy my boyfriend (his maid) who meticulously cleans the cage the day before, haha.
Everytime that we have taken our 5 month old chameleon Zephyr out of his cage, he has shed the following morning. The first two times were exactly a month a part, but this time, it has only been about 3 weeks since his last shed. Could the stress from us removing him from his cage (putting him...
Hey everyone,
I wrote a few weeks ago about Zephyr (5 month, male, Nosy Be Panther) and his lip which seemed to be a bit swollen and discoloured (black spot). The day after we noticed Zephyr's lip, he shed and his lip seemed to seem less swollen. We continued to monitor the lip and even...
a bit of an update :)
So, we tried to get Zephyr from his cage to clean his lip on Sat. night and he was not up for it. We decided to let him sleep and try the next morning (Sunday) to minimize stress. The next morning silly Zephyr decided to shed! His lip has gone down! (we are hoping that he...
This is why we get forum approval before we do anything PardalisGirl :) He is just such a squirmy little guy! We just tried to coax/grab him out of the cage (he is still in his day cycle) and he is still pretty "stand-off-ish" from this afternoons visit outside of his little jungle. We are...
our little guy is pretty squirmy (and tiny), what do you think would be the best way to do it? We were thinking about using a towel to grab him once he goes to bed tonight. any thoughts?
Hey everyone,
We took Zephyr out today to clean his cage and snap a few pics. We noticed in the photos that Zephyr's lip looks a bit off. Could anyone shed some light on the situation? Picture is posted.
Thanks
Hey :)
Congrats on your new little one! I have a little guy myself but I can offer you some of my "experience-so-far" advice, as well as relay some of the things that I have read online.
First, your cham my not be drinking for many reasons. As he gets settled in, you will be able to...
Hey :)
I have a four month old Nosy Be panther (zephyr) and he is bigger than your little cutie. If I were to make a guess (based on my limited experience), I would say that he is around 3 months and not much older, just based on how much bigger and more developed my little Zephyr's head/tail...
travelling :)
Thank you guys for all of your advice. Unfortunately he did not come in an insulated box because we purchased him from global exotic pets and we just put him in a ziplock container for the 5 minute ride home. I will try to locate an insulated box for him to feel more comfortable...
I am sorry for your loss. Loosing a family member is never easy but I hope that you find solace in knowing that he is in chameleon heaven smiling down on your for all of your care over the last few years and during his illness.
Hey everyone,
My boyfriend and I will be visiting our family this holiday and since Zephyr is a baby, we want to keep him with us to make sure he is okay. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to make sure that this puts the least amount of stress on the little guy. The drive...
Hey everyone! Lil' Zephyr has been growing like a little bean!! Thank you so much for your advice so far! It has helped so much! We took Zephyr out of the cage today to clean and took some new photos since it has been about a month since we got him/her. Zephyr started shedding for the first...
