Hi,
My female vieled chameleon (rosy) has barely ate in the last couple of weeks. She was doing great but then suddenly barely eats. She also appear to have broken ribs. Her energy levels have been fine and she drinks plenty(her urine is usually white maybe a light very light yellow)
Type: female vieled Chameleon
Age: little less than a year
Enclosure: converted curio cabinet. 18" deep × 4' tall × 4' wide. Reptiglo uv 100 and a basking lamp. At her highest point the temp is about 85 degrees and 30 to 40% humidity, at the bottom its ranges from 50 to 80%.
Diet: crickets are dusted 2-3 times a week. Sprayed some of the time when not dusted. (Yes dust as d3, spray does not). Prior to not eating, she was getting 4-5 crickets, 2-3 mealworms, a superworm, and occasionally some waxworms (we would kinda spoil her with these, letting have like 5 in sitting but then not giving her them for like at least a few days if not a week). Hornworms when we can get them.
We handle her more than we like because she always sits at the bottom of the cage scratching at the glass begging to come out. And she seems to love crawling up and sitting on our shoulders. Also, we let her (with super vision) explore the house. As she always tries to escape her enclosure and her open enclosure.
Thoughts?
