HOPE changed colors drastically over a few days

[Hope]

Why did HOPE went from these bright colors to being almost black in a few days. Since she turned darker she does not want to eat or move.

I'm no expert but she doesn't look well at all. I would take her to a vet ASAP

You should fill out the help form. Copy and paste it here.
How old is she & did you have a proper laying bin for her? Definitely doesn't look good.

I agree with Yarvy!! She needs to see a vet ASAP. Your girl looks to be VERY ill. It is not a good sign that the back half of her body has turned black and she is sitting on her back legs in the second picture. A healthy cham will NOT sit like that, they will stand on all four legs even on solid ground.

Hopefully a vet can help her out, but she needs to be seen, last week.

Good Luck.

He's about 6 months old. I will set up a laying bin for her and taker her to the vet.

In the first pic, she looks a bit bloated and unstable on her hind legs too, so something has been going on for a while. Chams are experts at hiding their problems until almost too late. I don't know how experienced your vet is, but she really needs a thorough exam including some sort of scan to check to see if there is some sort of internal impaction, egg binding, organ damage, or injuries. I hope the vet doesn't automatically give her calcium and Baytril "just in case" there's an infection going on. Probably more complicated than that. Poor little girl, I hope they can help!
