Sway I posted on the general forum and already posted on that yes she did and yes the day i seen that took her to vet and she was on liquid cal.for 3months.

the female looks to have MBD, not the male. She has already seen a vet about the condition and is receiving liquid calcium. You need to read through ALL the posts!!!

When I posted I didn't see that... Maybe it took too much time to go through? Anyway I hope your cham gets better. I understand the female has MBD. But in the first pic (not too clear) it looks like his back right leg is bending improperly.

 

[troll1010]

Yes,but the first 2 pic. is of my girl she is the one with MBD.the third one is of my boy.

 

[troll1010]

Thanks

You did not provide any notable info. What is in the supplements (D3, no D3, etc.)? How often do you give them to your chams? How long do you mist? We need details!!

i gutload my crickets with oats,rep-cal herptivite multivitamins,bee pollen flukers high calcium cricket diet and when i feed them to the cam.i dust them with the rep-cal 5-6 crickets every other day.mist for a 1min. 2-3 day.

Ok. Really your main problem is your supplementing. I use Rep-Cal as well. Here's what you should be doing:
-Calcium no D3 every feeding
-Calcium with D3 twice a month
-Herptivite (multivitamin) twice a month
If you want I can give you some links to show you some of these. The no D3 stuff is pretty hard to find so you might have to order online.

 

[troll1010]

ok so i should or not use the rep-cal gutloading the crickets or just stop disting the on the gut load crickets?My petsmart has both d3 and no d3 so that is good for me.

 

[KarmaChameleon1337]

You don't feed the suppliments to the feeders, you dust it onto them right before feeding.

 

[troll1010]

ok so please help me iam also breeding the crickets.so what do i use to gutload the crickets and do i use the d3/no d3 to gutload or dist?

 

[pssh]

Gutload with veggies and fruits like mustard greens, kale, endive, dandelion greens, collard greens, escarole, sweet peppers, squash, yams, sweet potatoes, berries, papaya, oranges, apples, carrots, etc. Use a quality dry gutload as well.

Dust the feeders very lightly (they should be one shade lighter than they are normally) with calcium without D3 almost every feeding. If you are using repcal, use the calcium with D3 twice a month, and use the multivitamin once or twice a month.

 

[troll1010]

ok so do i just put the gutload stuff in with the crickets or do i need to grid them up?

...As KarmaChameleon said you don't feed the supplements to the feeders. You don't feed the gut load to the cham either (I think that's what you're asking?). Give the crickets some collard greens, they devour that. Also some carrots are good for moisture and a little dish with some of that cricket chow you mentioned is good.

To dust the crickets, put them in a zip-lock bag with a little of the supplement and shake gently so they are lightly coated. Then feed them to your cham.

Loose the cricket diet. unless u buy bug burger or cricket crack or a few other commercial gutloads that are recommended here. Things u find in commercial stores are garbage and take away from the crickers eating what's really nutritious.
Our sponsers carry good gutload and anything u buy from repashy is good. Check with us on wat u wanna buy and never apologize for asking questions! Were haoppy to help!

I agree the cricket gut load is crap... all by itself. I mix it with just a little bit of crushed cat food to add a little protein (just a little )
