shedding

[dom1959]

i tried using the search function but could not find my answer...

in general when a cham sheds do they eat less?

 

[BeBoSON]

My cham always ate, but I've seen some post on here where chams didn't.

thanks, normally my 3 month old veil eats at least 10 crix. today so far 3. the shed seemed to start while i was out this morning.

That sounds normal as long as he goes back to eating as soon as he's done.

thanks folks, you probably know how it is with your first cham you stress over little stuff.

Indeed. When in doubt, ask a question!

well, looks like his shed went pretty well and he is back at the dinner table. silly, i know, but i am relieved.

stress over little stuff.

Hahaha...when it comes to my cham's, this is my middle name!!

And yes, when my chams have a full body shed, they tend to go off of their food till its over!

first time he shed starting at the tip of nose and working to the tail!
about halfway done...

 

[dom1959]

almost no progress in 24 hours,
should i be worried?
misting more and urates are good.
last shed was done in like 14 hours?
this time is almost 2 days?

 

[dom1959]

long time between sheds this time, he is scrapin skin away this morning tho!

 

[dom1959]

just about done shedding...

Having the same issue. He normally snatches about 6 of them right up from my fingers, but today.. On his back spikes you can see the start of his shed. He ate 1 and is ignoring the other 2 in his cage, and won't eat even if I wave the stupid feeders in front of him lol. And today every time I try and open the cage he runs out onto my hand.

 

[dom1959]
