I guess it's just because he's my first cham and I love him to bits, the idea of him living in pain just upsets me. But I guess regardless he just gets on with it and enjoys his adventures.. Such a strong wee lad! :) Yeah! Sorry, I did get your reply! Forgot to message you back, whoops...

Thank you so much, ohh my gosh :( Well this morning I ordered a new UVB bulb.. my vet suggested a D3 12% uvb bulb to accompany his calcium increased diet so I've bought that. I also ordered Komodo cricket dust without D3 and vetark nutrobal multivitamin. So when I feed him tomorrow I'll dust...

Oh my gosh Kate!! I never realised it was possible to get these types of bugs here because they arent natural to our eco system! :o Do you just get them shipped to your home, easy as that? Totally going to look into expanding Pierre's diet! How exciting! :D

Thanks for your comment :) Yeah! I do tend to feed my chams and their feeders fruits occasionally, but not often because of the sugars. Though Pierre is definitely a fan of anything green.. he looooves his greens. He's not so much of a fruit fan or ay other type of veg. The feeder insects eat...

Ahh ok! Thanks! Silkworms? We can get them here?? I thought we were restricted to waxworms, calciworms and mealworms.. Where do you get silkworms from?

Ahh..Thanks! did you get it from A1? or Pets at home? Also, where do you buy your gutloading veg? Since my variety clearly isn't the best.. I must be going to the wrong places! In Tesco, Asda and sainsburys I can only ever find spring greens, Kale and rocket :/

Ahh.. I've seen this thread before.. Often my problem is finding the UK equivalent of the best greens for gut loading. Even diet variety is tough since we're so limited to certain things in the UK. I'll need to have a look into ways i can source the better gutloading ingredients. Well...

Thanks for your reply! i think my last post pretty much covers the first part of your question. I have always had problems with his hydration.. even with daily misting and hand watering.. he's a charismatic lad.. but really does hate getting wet.. he's pretty good at hand watering but only...

Ohhh my goodness.. You know I've read this in posts by others thousand times and I never thought to check my supplement powder.. HUGE fault on my part. It doesnt state anywhere on the front of the bottle that it contains D3, but looking at the ingredients.. it does contain D3. Ingredients...

Hey everyone, This post was really just an outreach to anyone with veterinary knowledge or experience with MBD, the reading of X-rays and/or any other bone conditions. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Veiled Chameleon, Male, approx 18 months old. Owned him since he was a wee baby...

Thank you so much for your help! Hahaha, I totally agree! There certainly is something about being a chameleon owner that makes you so panicky over the silliest of things! :P I'm glad to say she's finally eating, only one little calcium dusted locust a day, but it's definitely a start...

This is my second chameleon, first female. I brought her home just 3 days ago, and have been letting her settle in, she's still really shy and obviously uncertain about her new enclosure as her colours haven't shifted from the dark shades much. My first cham was like this for the first...

Cute!! Well I'm hoping my baby Cham will eventually take to chomping on the leaves of his hibiscus (if I can save it!) as I've heard its a great way to help with hydration. Although, he does seem very fussy at the moment, won't hand feed or drink anything, will only drink droplets from...

Thank you so much for your advice guys :D I'll see if the added lighting helps and shall report back (: Could any of you suggest other plants which might work well in the viv if my hibiscus recovery programme fails? I was considering a Pothos as I've heard nothing but good reviews on them...

Hi all (: I'm new to the forums, chameleon keeping and am in need of some general advice on hibiscus care.. I've searched and read as much as I could but nothing has really seemed helpful. I have three Hibiscus plants I bought for my viv, and of the three, two have failed.. most of...
