    Dubia Roaches - Can they eat hay?

    Ok so it seems safe to use, I was thinking of blending it with the oats as a dry food.

    Dubia Roaches - Can they eat hay?

    Given that Dubia are designed to eat grasses, grains, fruits etc. I don't see why they cannot eat Timothy Hay. I was thinking of grinding Timothy Hay, Oak Leaves, Walnut Leaves & Cereal together for a dry food. Anyone have any input on this? What about Tortilla Chips... They are just deep...

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    Got him to the vet this morning The vets conclusion was the same as mine. It is some type of tumor and has a live blood supply to it. He opened the top, and dug down into it to check for puss or infection. All he found was that it kept bleeding. He stained a slide and checked for...

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    I couldn't risk the two hour trip with the car I have. Due to some mechanical issues. I mainly ride a motorcycle for transportation. I checked on him again today and he is acting perfectly normal. Great colors, active and alert. He still eats as well. I am going to call two other vets here...

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    Never heard back from any vets yet. Ill have to call some tomorrow. Looking at it again tonight, It really looks like it came out from inside his body. I think its a tumor of some sort.

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    You know on a second look this morning. I do think it grew from inside and through the skin. The way the skin is pressed up around the lump. It looks just like someone pushed it through from inside. That would also explain the live blood supply to it as well. Starting to think this is...

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    It is very hard to tell. It looks like something grew on the skin itself and is being fed by a blood supply. It could be growing through from inside. I hope not though.

    More Photos Lights flipped off about 30 mins ago and his Chromatophores were totally relaxed. When he is relaxed he is bright green and yellow. I sort of woke him up when I opened the door to take photo's and he started to darken. You can almost see the lump in the first shot. The last...

    Just have to wait and see what happens. I am glad that your ferret lived to old age and didn't have major health issues arise.

    Thanks. I will contact Heartland Veterinary Clinic and Ashby as well. I already have two messages out to two other vets who list exotics/reptiles etc. Someone here in town should be able to help. Its a college town so I know there are all kinds of pets here.

    I saw but they are out of range as well. I am banking on the two local offices here in town. I had hoped someone would chime in who has seen something like this before. I know I can't find anything online about it.

    I would hope the typical vet would admit if they had no chameleon experience etc. I mean most people who become vets genuinely care about the animals they treat. As for the Fuzzies... All three of ours were lost due to cancer. Lots of time and research into each one leads to genetic issues due...

    Ask me about Marshall Farms Ferrets one day. Those people should be shut down and honestly Ferrets should NOT be sold as a pet. That is a whole other story though. The fuzzbutts are absolutely awesome companions but inbreeding and genetic issues make for horrendous health issues and major...

    Skin Issues -- What is it... Abscess? (Pics)

    I can give that a try tomorrow. I expect the one vet I e-mailed will be able to help. I mean they did list reptiles on their site. Honestly over the years of having pets I am pretty positive they are going to all recommend removing, cleaning, suturing, and a histology report. Without a...

    I just can't believe nobody here noticed it. He is always in the same spot every day when we go to feed him and we simply never saw it. We put in crickets, he waits for them to climb up the screen and then shoots em. We simply never saw his other side. I don't expect him to find a way to...

    Unfortunately I am too far from MD to drive there. I also have no way to get him to a Vet until Monday. I hope the Vets I have e-mailed respond by tomorrow. I e-mailed our usual vet to see if they have anyone with reptile experience and I e-mailed another vet in town that does list reptiles. I...

    I have two male Veiled Chams. Each in their own enclosure of course. Seeing that Chameleons are not exactly the touchy feely type of pet, we don't handle them unless it is to re-arrange their cages. They are housed under 24" Dual Arcadia HO T5s 1 x 12% 1 x 6.5k Daylight and a single...

    Easiest DIY Enclosure EVER!!

    Ohhh I see what your getting at. Your talking about using them as a permanent enclosure. So escaping food is not a good thing LOL. Using the same hardware cloth with the 1/4 mesh you could instead of wrapping it around twice. Cut two separate pieces of the same size and wrap at a bit of an...
