there has to be a 24 hour vet somewhere, even if it's far, you could call them and see what they say to do. This is so sad :( I don't know what I would do in your shoes.
I have my uv light on for a full 12 hours.
Maybe he just needs to get use to it being there. Animals don't like change, so they can act odd when there is something new around, but I wouldn't worry, I bet he pokes around in the UV for a bit, till he realizes he wants to bask and goes to the...
Hmm, see I would thing plexiglass at the bottom would be a worse place, if it is going to breed bacteria.
Also, I would think it could be sanitized pretty well, as long as it wasn't all scratched up, and modifications to decor can be made so the cham can climb where he wants.
The reason...
If your trying to avoid an expensive trip to the vet, then you could get some iodine from the pharmacy, and some neosporin (not the tingly kind, just regular) hospital bandage and bitter spray.
clean the paw, put some medication on it, wrap it up, and then spray the wrap with the bitter spray...
ahh ok cool, this makes sense. Seeing as I live in Canada, and it's dry and cold half of the year It will probably be 3 glass sides, with screen on one side, and top and bottom, so this idea is good!
So, right now I'm using an all glass exoterra terrarium, screened top. pretty standard.
I will be building something much larger, but I want to be able to have various ways of setting up stuff in the vivarium, and i just want to see how people are hanging their horizontal pathways.
Lots of...
This looks amazing. Did you use glass or plexiglass? I'm looking into building one at home, but I don't know if I can work with real glass.
(I don't even know if people use plexiglass..)
but wow, it's so stylin!
Congrats on your new baby! I just got my first one a couple days ago, this forum has been really helpful, and your English seems good to me!
I've only gotten mine to eat when I hold a low ridged container beside him, he notices things moving around and goes after them.
I plan on installing...
I'll have to go through the brands and take a good look, but I have 3 different types? (was given some by a friend, after I bought both a plain calcium, and one with D3) I didn't think to check the vitamin amounts...that was silly of me.
I'll take recommendations as well.
I'm using a duel...
Never again! I just meant when it comes to 'morphs' and what not, but to me he's super cute and I already love him to bits.
He seems to be eating well. In a single sitting he eats anywhere from 5-6 crickets, so I try to give him a couple feedings during the day, as he tends to get shy fast...
I am always reading horror stories about pet stores, I've seen some on this forum, and on the bearded dragon forum I browse.
Personally, I have yet to have such experience, and I'm in a pet store almost every week getting feeders.
The local university is head of agriculture for all of...
If you can't get them out, then personally I would probably leave some moist veggies at the bottom of the tank that will keep the crickets more occupied. cherry tomatoes and cue cumber slices
I'm only on day 3 with my first chameleon, but I find that if I put a stick near him, he will climb on and I'll pull him out on that, and by the time I have my hand out, he has already making his way onto my hand.
Ok I'll have to get a multivit.
You guys are all making me feel bad for calling him "just a veiled" lol. He is special, and I think his name is Mr. Peabody. I think I figured out the picture thing a little better.
Also, the plant in question is a hibiscus. I also have a bearded dragon, and...
I know all mammals can for sure.
I would thing any animal that uses insulin can potentiality go into a diabetic coma.
So if reptiles produce insulin then yes a coma is a thing that could happen...
Since animal diets are different that ours and more "natural", it's way less likely to...
you can use a tiny amount of dish soap in a spray bottle, then completely rinse the whole plant off, try really really hard not to let the water run into the soil!
