I went to a Pet Smart today 100 miles away!!! I got some liquid calcium and wax worms( thats the only kind of worms they had besides meal) I have NOT been able to get his mouth open even for water. tomorrow i AM going to stick with it until i get something in him!! The worms were all dead , dated 10-11, but i think my veiled will eat them...or IF I can get his mouth open. ( I have never perchased anything from a big chain pet store before , next time I will check and make sure the live food is LIVE!!) where can i get the RescueCal? They just had Flukers stuff there and I have read that isnt really great stuff. IF I CAN get his mouth open whats the FIRST thing I should put in , food, water or liquid calcium???? The couple times i got him to open his mouth it was very brief and only ONE time, I want to get what ever will benefit him most in first.
MBD , Puffy head, cannot strike food

to get his mouth open, you can try rubbing your finger between his eyes, this always got my guys to open wide.
or get a credit card, and gently stick the corne between their lips and twist a bit, this should make him gape at you, and then you can put food in.
i would do liquid calcium, then bugs.
as for the rescuecal, try amazon.

I got his mouth open and got a tiny bit of liquid calcium in but then he closed up. I dont want to hurt him. Im gonna try the rub between his eyes and the credit card thing, He drank alittle but just a tiny bit. His head still has the puffy bumps and I have NEVER seen any pictures of any chams like this. So far I have not seen him eat . Thanks EVERYONE for all the info. I will keep you posted. Im still so worried UGHHHHHH it makes me crazy.
