Hey all!!
I got my new baby veiled, Jordie, over Christmas. He is a pet store Cham but seems to be very healthy. I haven't had a Cham in 10 years and this is very exciting for me.
He LOVES to be handled. Each time I attempt to hand feed he just jumped on my hand and runs up my arm. He's also happy to go back in his enclosure so I don't think he has an issue with that.
I've attached some pics, how old do you think he is? I'm guessing around 6 weeks. He is approx 2.5-3" long, not including tail.
As for feeding, pinheads are very hard to get here (being in a semi remote city near Ottawa, Canada ) so I have opted to get very small crickets. He seems to be eating them with no issues, but it does concern me. They are a bit longer than his head is wide. Thoughts? He is currently being fed 3-4 twice daily. Sometimes he eats them all and come times there is one left.
He is currently in a 18x18 zoomed glass terrarium, at what point should I swap to a mesh enclosure? My plan is a 3x3x5 so I don't want to go to early and have him fall and get hurt, or not be able to hunt because of the size.
Thanks for any help!
Chris.
