I have a 6 months old nosey be ambilobe mix. He's eating has slown he is still active and he weighs 69 grams I just got a scale so I can start weighing him regularly. Here's a few pictures taken today. His urinate is white normal poo temp is 85 to 88 basking/ top of cage. 75 being the lowest. I'm making a outdoor cage just need to get hardware cloth and I'll be done. He drinks normal just wanted to get a opinion. He seems thinner sometimes but the contorte their bodies weird at times thanks

I think he's just a bit on the skinny side. Besides looking over the entire animal I really pay attention to the 2 fat pads on the top of the head. They should be nice and plump. I suggest feeding him superworms a few times a week as a treat. They are high in fat content. They go crazy for them.
His eyes look nice and full so I think adding treats to his diet will get him looking really good in no time.
I attached a pic of one of my panthers to show you what I'm talking about on his head.
Good luck. You have a handsome boy there!!

I have had a problem with him only eating wax and phoenix worms I been trying to get him to eat other things. Trust me I have tried every other feeder I can get a hold of. I even try holding a work and roach in my hand and when he shoots move my hand so he gets the roach. Cricket super silk horn wax phonix tons of different feeders. I plan to take him and my girl she's a chunky monkey to the vet just for a check up. Some days he looks skinny and others he looks big today he weighed 70 grams I can't waitto get him in his outdoor cage he loves it out
 
I can't waitto get him in his outdoor cage he loves it out
No worry,he is only 6Month old junior ,just keep on feeding him some quality feeders like dubia ,silkworm,and its good to take the cham out to soak up some sun ray rather than let the cham hiding indoor all day like a maxi pad try to soak up some pain,take him n urself out n have a blast,he will be just fine,good luck.
 
@Kboz1991 I forgot to mention,if the sun ray dont fix him up,u can always take him to a chameleon specialist n get a fecal test so u will know exactly what is going on with ur chamy inside his body...maxi dont help,there is alway Midol(which I took for my headache once,weird huh,but it works),he is such a handsome boy:love:

Yeah that is what I'm planning on doing if this outdoor cage doesn't work. Hopefully everythinggoes well and he starts gaining weight again. My female is about to lay a infertile clutch I have a tub of moist sand coCo fiber mix in the cage and a 5 gallon bucket setup so when I see her in the dirt I can switch her. She is really pink and I have never seen that before I have been loading her food with calcium and keeping her hydrated. I cut down on heat and a little on food intake so if she is receptive she doesn't gave one. This is my first female so a big learning experience. I'm keeping a very close eye on her. It's hard to see her colors

She is very sexy,if I was a panther cham,I be date her everynight ....
Once she slow down the eating she shall start digging,at that time,u can give her much privacy as u can,u can even cover the whole cage with a towel so she can lay in peace,once she finish,then start hydrate her with lots misting n feed her as much as she can eat since she will lost all those Gravid weight,good luck to ur female too.
 
I got them from a guy on here I got them when they were little babies about the size of my nail I'm glad I did because they trust me a lot. Yea that's deff the plan when I cover her cage should I leave the light on. They are in a room by them selves at the moment till I finish there outdoor cages. I just got the supplies to finish them today and they should be done tomorrow
 
Cool that is so awesome u got them as a baby,and yes U can leave ur normal light hours on ,what ever u do just dont disturbing her since she wont eat any thing during her digging n laying,I bet that outdoor cage of urs will be nice,show us some pic when u finish building the cage.
 
Yeah they are amazing I have a female from him and another female nosey be ambilobe mix. I love there colored I'm going to try and breed the non related pair
