Weather has been getting nicer so I have my jackson's outside. Noticed he was going after something small on a leaf; turned out to be a very young slug about the size of a small finger nail. I removed the slug since I wasn't sure these are OK for a cham to eat. This is the second time he's...

That's exactly how my Xanth reacted when my vet had me give him baytril for the same problem. Totally stopped eating but still drank well; was listless and coloration was dark. Vet said that will sometimes happen. Not knowing that they can get by for a couple of weeks w/out eating, I took him...
