Vitamin D3 overdosed causes blindness, a possible reason
Vitamin D3 overdosed causes blindness, a possible reason
I have a male Jackson Chameleon however the age is unknown. We got him from a reptile convention. We have had him for about a year now. We handle him maybe once a day, if that. We feed him calcium dusted crickets daily. About 6-8. We use a mister that mists for 3 min and 30 seconds every three hours and we also have a branch that we put him on and then we put him in the shower once a week. His fecal excrement is dark. He has been normal up until about a week ago when this started. He has been resting all day. His eyes are closed and he moves only a little. We have a screen cage that I think is somewhere around five feet tall and two feet wide. We use a spot lamp for heat and a uvb bulb as well. We do not use a live plant, but branches and leaves. The cage is below a vent however we don't use said vent. I am located geographically in SC.
Are you using a calcium with or without d3? Are u using any multivitamins?
Jackson’s should get calcium without d3 twice a week. Calcium with d3 once a month and a multivitamin once a month.
We do use calcium with d3 and no multivitamin so thank you, we will invest in that.
