    Yeah thats what I was thinking too. I'm going to finish building my encloser first then get a new one. Any breeders you guys/gals recommend? Breed of chameleon?

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    He passed. I am so sad and distraught. What did I do wrong? What can I do better?

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    I just did his second feeding today. He looks worse. I don't think he will make it. If a miracle happens and he recovers I will let you guys know, but right now I dont think there's much I can, especially because he is still so tiny. For future reference, if I get another chameleon, what can I...

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    He gets so stressed out he just becomes this after I feed him. Yesterday when I fed him outside in the sun, he was fine. It was cold this morning so I fed him inside and he's like this. He was worse yesterday, he just laid on his side after I fed him. Today he's at least upright but I can tell...

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    There's a lable, it says Smz/Tmp 200mg/40mg/5ml oral sus. Antibiotic. Give every 12 hours for 7 days. The food I have to feed him 3-4 times a day until he eats on his own. The hard thing is, I have seen him eat or drink anything. I feel like he is still very scared so I tend to try and give him...

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    I have no idea either. The vet said it's an antibiotic just in case he does have a skin infection. With the amount that I have to forcefeed him and give him antibiotics twice a day, I feel like I'm just going to stress him out to death. He seemed fine when I fed him outside in the sun, maybe I...

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    Nor sure but it was the vitamin b12 injection and the antibiotic is SMZ or something. Not really sure what it stands for, and yes I am misting more often.

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    Update: Took him to the vet, and told them about his mouth too. Vet said there didn't seem to be anything wrong with his mouth, but gave me some antibiotics just in case, along with deworming meds and powder food to mix with water and to feed to him until he eats on his own. They also gave him a...

    Thank you, I was actually wondering how to transport him with as little stress as possible. Yes the vet is a reptile vet.

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    Yes I see what you are talking about. That was the side where the syringe was when I was feeding him. I was trying to be as gentle as I could, but maybe I hurt him by accident when I was trying to feed him? I will definitely try to keep an eye on it.

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    I'm in Minneapolis, MN. I've read that dubias roaches are the best so I have a mix of x-small dubias roaches, along with soldier ant larva and wax worms right now. I know wax worms should only be used as a treat, but right now, I just want him to eat. I'm also getting fruitflies tomorrow and...

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    If I move him into a bigger cage right now will it stress him out more? Or will it be better?

    Forcefed young chameleon.

    The cup is in an area he can see from the basking area. He's eaten from it before and it's always in the same spot. I got him from petco.

    Hmmm, I'm not sure. How would I check to see if something is wrong?
