Hello

My veiled chameleons eggs hatched 44days ago, They were 16 .

I feed them cricket(black&brown), super worm, wax worm. About 15 days after they hatched I took them multi vitamin ( http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/powder_multi_vitamin.php ) twice per week & calcium ( http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/powder_calcium_d3.php ) once per week. I spray water 3 times in day (morning,noon,afternoon) .Also they have dropping water system.

Substrate is cloth (like as tissue). I put a little bonsai (it's not alive) and some plants(artifact).

Temperature : 27-29 D.Celsius at day, at night 26.
Humidity: 60-70 % at day.

There were in this terrarium http://www.exo-terra.com/en/products/natural_terrarium_mini.php (30 x 30 x 30 cm) for about 20 days.After 20 days some of them died ! They ate food as well, one of them after shedding died! . I changed the terrarium, size of new terrarium is 35*45*60 cm.After I changed the place they died too, Now they're 9.

Lighting: They had uv10 Exo terra 13w, After I changed terrarium they have uv5 exo terra 13w.

Why did they die?


Thanks
 
sorry to hear you are loosing them.

were you also providing a vitamin free calcium powder?
was the feeder prey small enough? were they eating well? growing? drinking?
the 10UVB may have been too stong. Did you notice any eye issues?
how were you monitoring heat? was the ambient temp always that high or is that the basking area temp?

Thank you.
I said that I just gave them vitamin or calcium,one time vitamin another time calcium.Ingredients of multi vitamin is clear on Exo terra website,it has calcium too.
Surely yes, I feed them 2-3times at day,they always have cricket&worm for hunting.They were eating,drinking and growing up as well.
I think you're right , because some of them can't open their eyes.
I have digital thermometer (Trixie brand). They don't have basking lamp, the temp is between 27-29 during day.
 
how are they now? any make it?

when it comes to babies, I use a 5.0 bulb that has been burned in (used) for a couple months, I keep the temperature lower than you have: 21 -26C
