Today I moved the cup back a bit, out of the cage, and he put both front feet on my hand to get to the cup of crickets. Then, he almost dropped his half-eaten cricket on my hand which totally grossed me out so I flinched. Oops! GROSS. He backed up into his cage, I felt really bad for...
Swyft is on the prowl. In fact he has meandered to the bottom sticks looking around which I don't usually see him do. I misted his cage with hot water and he eagerly is drinking off the leaves even with his door open and I am watching. I think he is getting used to me, he hangs out in the...
Hugs to you. It is so hard to do the right thing, I know. You are teaching a valuable lesson to your son. Sometimes we have to love something enough to let it go. I have had to do this as well in the past and I have been the one to receive someone else's pets, thus being on the other side...
He didn't eat it before it fell off the spoon so I left it in the cage, will check for it after work.
The house dropped to 71 last night, eek! I think he was too interested in basking to go after the superworm.
That's cute too, she should try selling those as well, say at a craft show for patio decorations. ;) Great cages, lucky chameleon that gets one of those.
I'm just a member here, a newbie at that, but I wanted to suggest that if nothing has changed with your setup since the last time you filled out the form you could copy and paste the basics in to your new question/thread. It just helps with so many people on the forum to be able to glance...
Thank you for posting that link! I have not been handling mine, he still has me scared off when he opens his mouth. The video really helps, my attempts were making things worse.
Six small ones. Not pin heads but not large, and smaller than what I consider a medium. Dusted with Miner-All and he went after them aggressively as soon as I popped them in the cage. I do mean aggressively, this boy was all over the place hunting them down!
I watered my front and backyard profusely all week. My neighbor was setting off a ton of fireworks and sure enough I found sparkler sticks in both my front and backyard. Oh and I brought the dogs in all week as well, only letting them out supervised. (fenced in backyard, I was irked finding...
Swyft would! He ate a big one this morning. Yesterday I removed the newspaper that I had on the bottom of the cage and two crickets were hiding under there. He got those, I checked this morning.
He was quite excited for the superworm and it was really big, he ate it right from the cup...
My mom takes care of my other critters, but I'm guessing there's no way she'll be touching crickets, mealworms, or anything else my chameleon eats.
Guess I'll be looking for a pet sitter but usually I'm a homebody anyhow.
I don't see crickets in Swyft's cage, I'll keep watching. I think he found them. I had to work today after four days off of watching them closely, it is a little unnerving not to see him eat this morning. I may start getting up earlier so I have time to wait for him to warm up with the basking...
I thought Swyft was hanging around the front of his cage because he was hungry.
Dusted 4 crickets with Miner-All (has calcium but not d3) put them in his cage and he isn't showing interest. I'm hoping its just too early in the morning for him as he is usually a big hunter and eater. Its...
Its been a long day so far of moping and dealing with Jolly's death. I put Jolly's previous cage netting into the washer with hot water and bleach. I plan to wash the frame and fake vines/plants with bleach as well, I've moved it all to the garage for now.
I am having an autopsy done on...
Spent the morning sad about Jolly. I had no idea I would be so attached so quickly. Took him to the pet crematorium. The cage is in my garage and although I know I could use it for Swyft I am really not wanting to touch it, look at it, let alone clean it because I am still sad about Jolly...
