update, unfortunately she took a turn for the worse over the weekend and started to refuse both food and water. the vet said her internal organs had began to fail so we had to euthanize her. the official diagnosis was death due to improper early life care. crap.

red wiggler earth worms can survive for weeks totally submerged I have some living in the bottom of my axolotls tank from when he doesn't eat them. they are probably just red wigglers.

like waving said, you're also exposing them to germs and bacteria etc that arent normalized to them. that said in nature most things that are toxic/poisonous advertise it with flashy colors. I don't feed any of my herps "wild" anything there's no way of knowing if that moth fed on something that...

how long has it been since she has eaten, before the birth/since etc? what does she normally eat, are you offering the same things? how long have you had her? did you change her habitat or is it the same one she had? definitely more information is needed. as much information as you can proved...

supplements should be calcium without d3 everyday calcium with d3 once every other week multivitamin every other week on the opposite week from the d3 calcium get a log book/calendar so you know what day your supposed to be doing what.

I couldn't agree more. But from my perspective and experience the hobbyists create the data. At least the overly competent ones do. If you keep a log book on your animals. when you got them, how you house them, log everything and I do mean everything, feedings, vet visits, bulb changes...

so I shot a vid of her eating the first cricket she turned so you could see well so I shot her eating the second one too. I didn't even realize I was talking to her till I watched it. lol

Well i'm going to put my 2.3 cents in on this subject as it's often broached with various other herps as well. I scanned through the entire thread and some of the responses are rather emotional and we'll simply bypass those you are welcome to your emotions. Others like the gout/mbd person are...

finally a BM and urate. the Bm was rock hard almost constipated stool at the beginning and tapered to a softer stool that I recognize as normal for chameleons meaning she was also dehydrated when I got her, same for the urate very yellow and stiff beginning to light fluffy white urate finish so...

thats a trick of the light because of how she is laying and the camera angle in reference to the UVB her tail color is unchanged, however the rest of her body is color shifting far faster last night and this morning than it was the other day.

just curious how many crickets should this girl be eating on a daily basis? I would hazard a guess that she is about 10+ months right now. Now that I have her eating should I let her eat her fill and just keep offering till she stops or are chammies prone to gluttony?

Here are those pictures she ate a couple more crickets and took another couple cc of water. I'm not being casual about it it's all written in her log book. also here is how I currently have her set up. a towel under her to insulate form the eco, standard humidifier on low flinging humidity at...

thanks ill double check with the vet about adding calci worms to the regiment. but they are easy to get ahold of. ill try the shower trick with her.

Oh and my wife has named her Alice (being a veiled chameleon it's a corpse bride/alice cooper song reference)

ok diagnosis is advanced MBD, through improper supplementation and lack of UVB, as we all know doesn't matter how much calcium they get if there isnt UVB. They are pretty sure there are eggs in there too they don't think she is eggbound yet. she is on liquid calcium glubionate, and meloxicam...

Trying to get information on her care from these people is like pulling hens teeth, i asked for all the information they could give me on housing and maintinence and feeding for her and the reply was along the lines of "you know standard chameleon stuff" ..... what does that even mean? on the...

Thank you Carlton for the reply. She'll be at the vet in about 12 hours she is holding on still. They dropped off her lights which aren't sufficient. The UVB light is only a 13w zoo med through a fine screen cage (repti breeze) plus its one of the parallel tube style that virtually all the UVB...

I would like to note I'm not ruling out MBD seeing as they didn't bring me any lights I don't know what they had for lights on the tank. I'm not looking forward to the possibility of an emergency cessarian should she be eggbound. though I think that would be a more positive prognosis than severe...

First off an introduction of sorts. I have been doing herp/small animal/cat/dog rescue for years. I do have excellent access to veterinary care, anyone participating who is not offering constructive advice or attempting to flame etc will be ignored. The vet is not in the office to see this...
