i just been made redundant from my job so im now on stupid benefits which just about pays my rent! There was no way on earth i could have paid the £500 for her op.
Lizzy was a birthday present for my son (he is known as nature boy in school haha:) ) so he cried his eyes out earlier but he is...
just to let you know lizzy had to be put down today as (due to redundancy) i could not afford the £500 plus bill for operation. Sooo sad and kids are devestated, thank you all for the advice anyway. :( :(
Thanks all, well i have posted my concern for my girl (help cham not ate for 8 days) and had a lot of good advice. I have now realised that i was poorly informed about her getting eggs etc so i didnt know what was going on and have left things a little to late an now she has no energy to lay her...
Thanks for that i was getting worried!! My girl is not too good at the moment going to the vet 1st thing tue to help her get her eggs out so hopefully she will be fine, just didnt want to get through this for her to then only last another 2.5 years.
Just wondering how long female veiled chams usually live for? I have just had a conversation with someone who said they only last 3 years tops and will have 3 batches of eggs then die. They told me to get a male to mate with so not to waste the eggs. Is this true??? :confused:
no i turn the lights off at night. Just peeked in she seems to be going back inside the tunnel:) my friend has just offerd to take me the vet thank god!! Again though prob have to wait till tuesday-damn the bank holiday!! Good idea on B&Q will be poping there mon if no joy!!
thanks for the idea only problem is its easter tomorrow so wont be able to get any other type of sand/mix and monday is a bank holiday!! feel so useless over this situation. she is the most plesant little thing aswell- i have my fingers and toes crossed that i come down in the morning and she...
Still no joy at all!! Phoned all the vets in my area and they all dont deal with chameleons, told me to go to a vet about 2 hours away and as i dont drive this is impossible for me!!(dont have anyone to take me either) Gave her "worm soup" today to try give her some energy and put her in the...
well i live in a stupid little town and the vet were shut all day yesterday and today only open 3-3:30pm!!(another 5 hrs to wait!!) I have to wait till then to go see what they can do for her. Weird thing is though she is now climbing again but still not eating/drinking.
yeah all done and i have coverd her cage totally (didnt do this last time) will peek in b4 bed (left a tiny gap) an in the morning-fingers crossed!! :0)
Thanks all i have put her somewhere private so hopefully she will lay some eggs!!! I did try this last week but hopefully this time she will lay some?? will keep you posted!
