Thank you so much for your advice!! I will definitely try that with the food. I have the feeding cup posted in his cage and he looks at the bugs inside it but he rarely eats from it. He mainly prefers when i free range the crickets but i don’t want to always be doing that. I leave the cup in...
Hi!! I was just wondering if i could get some advice with my chameleons eating. He is about 4 months old and he is very picky with his eating. He will only eat crickets, mealworms and superworms. (I know those aren’t the best feeders but it’s all he will eat) I’ve offered him dubia roaches...
Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better. I’m still worried that he might have an RI when he puffs up and opens his mouth, but i don’t see him out his nose in the air... is there another reason why he puffs up and opens his mouth? And it looks like he’s starting to shed on his head but i...
I’m also wondering how he could have gotten MBD? because i give him the correct supplements and i have the right lighting. Is there another way he could have gotten it?
Thank you for the suggestions!! It’s weird tho, because earlier he was acting very weak and he wasn’t moving a lot, but now he is active and he’s been walking up and down his cage and i actually got him to eat! I don’t know if i would be able to feed him through a syringe because he is very...
Great thank you! I will try that!! I’ve tried cup feeding him before but he won’t go for it, the only way i can get him to eat is if i put the insect on a plant in front of him.
Yes the temperature at the top is now 71, and it fluctuates between 70 & 80 but never goes past 80. I’ve raised the lights so it’s not as close anymore. I also tested it with my hands and it’s not too hot at all. It just seems like he has no energy to stand up.
I do mist his cage many times a day and his poop seems like he’s drinking fine. I took my dripper out because the water started to leak out the bottom of my plants, but i will put it back in there. Here’s a picture of him.. is this normal?
Today i saw my chameleon do something really strange and frightening. As he was basking, he kept falling over to the side and closing his eyes. One time i saw he was completely laying on his side on a piece of driftwood and his color was black, then i walked away for a couple minutes to look it...
Thank you so much for the suggestions!! She does eat about that size of superworms. Is it bad for him to be eating that big of insects or is that just why he’s not going for them? And I have a feeder run for him but he won’t eat out of it. Would pinhead crickets be a better feeder for his size?
Yes i do see him drink water, and there is a white part in his poop so i think he’s getting enough. He rarely falls, sometimes he stumbles but i think that’s just because he’s only a baby and is very small, and I don’t see him shake
I actually made a diy one of those hahah and it worked pretty well, but he still wasn’t interested. I really appreciate your advice thank you!! Would you have any other suggestions for me?
Some days i will get him to eat one insect , and some days i can’t get him to eat anything at all, so he does poop but not every day. I have left crickets in there before but after a couple days i find them dead at the bottom. And if i let the superworms in there they just fall to the bottom and...
Hi! I’m just hoping to get support about my new baby panther chameleon. I got him at a month old and i’ve had him for almost two weeks now. I’ve been very worried about him because i can only get him to eat one insect a day, and some days i can’t even get him to eat at all. He won’t eat from my...
