Just wanted to update... i just watched my lil' girl shoot out and catch a cricket on her own!! this is something i've only seen twice before so i think it is an amazingly good sign! Thanks everyone and your help has made all the difference ! Kelsie

yeah i'm in High Level Ablerta, It would be an all day drive to edmonton/sherwood park Thanks I will try to contact that vet, thanks so much. And no I only have the one cham, its just i orginally thought she was a male and later discovered for myself that it is infact a she. I have a leopard...

ok thanks so much i will try that... thank you jann, and i will definitley keep everyone updated... she was up on time this morning, before 7 a.m. so that is good! and she looked as though she was hunting around, but she will not eat in front of me so it's hard to tell if she is eating...

yes linear, no compact, no substrate- used to use paper towels but ditched those too. I don't have a camera but i will borrow one tomorrow if i can, and no i do not have a laying bin for her... she is so small it is crazy to think any eggs could come out of her..... i will do my best to get some...

yes but there are not any cities where i am. 8 hours is nearest herp vet i've looked, hard. we have one small pet store (non-chain) that also cannot help me and two animal hospitals specializing in large animals, and one of them will see herps, but not birds, and as i said it was a waste to...

there are small feces in the cage- i just found, the brown part is small but it is there. theres two piles there that i hadn't found and cleaned... what can i do to help her...... i'm so upset right now i feel like i'm going to lose her now more than ever.... :( :( :(

and there are urates... sometimes there is a small amount of actual feces but lately she has literally not been going... probably approximately 4 days without actual feces

yeah... there is one problem... she's been to the vet... he doesn't know anything... specializes in large animals and will also look at exotics but he could not tell me anything, i honestly knew more about chameleon husbandry than he did, i confused him with my questions. the nearest exotic vet...

just some more info... she does move around quite a bit, stays at the top of her cage all the time except when she retreats to her sleeping spot, and still freaks out when the mister goes off, and when i tried to put a wax worm in front of her with tweezers she went very dark, puffed up, and...

How large of a cage would an adult female panther chameleon need? And what about a male? Thanks =] Kelsie

you need to make sure your gutloading your feeders with a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as grain and other things... Try searching gutloading using the search feature... I'm sure there are many great threads about gutloading so read them and research what you think the best recipe...

bugorder.com the only thing is they only ship tuesdays so you probably won't get them 'til wednesday of next week...! other than that shipment looks great =]

So I accidently ordered 250 pinhead crickets online and recieved them yesterday.... and realized how smart I am :o Anywho..... Anyone know approximately how long it will take for these LITTLE guys to grow big enough to feed to my 4 month panther ? I guess they would need to be about 1/8" ...

Haha I will always hear the chirping Fidget. Ok I will start starving the little suckers when i first buy them and then just keep food in there all the time and hope the lucky ones that my chamman gets in the morning are all gutloaded up!!! I do see him drinking but ever since I got him the...

Yeah later in that post i explained that i do have gutloads available to my feeders at all times... i just worry that the ones i feed off in the mornings aren't the ones that have recently been eating... So i will have to try your advice jojackson and have a seperate container full of gutload...

i do gutload- but i also have questions about this... they say you should gutload your crickets approx. 12 hours before feeding... What if the ones that ate aren't the ones that you feed off..? And i just keep two dishes in my Kricket Keeper, one dish with dry gutload and one with wet at all...

i do see my cham drink off of leaves occasionally but there is a small yellow tinge at the end of his urate and i would like to take care of that.... unless a small part at the end is normal? I was just under the impression it should be completely white, and i want my chamman to be in tip shop...

I just read in a previous post that someone did this to chams that they thought might need the extra hydration... and i have yet to find somewhere that will ship silk or horn worms and the only pet store where i live carries neither... only crickets, supers (which are too large for my 4 month...
