Supplementing Baby Veiled

[UrbanChameleon]

First off.. I want to say how thankful I am for this forum. I've been doing research for months and found a lot of answers to my questions here. By the way, I don't spend much time on forums.. so I apologize if I did something incorrectly.

I finally purchased my male Veiled, Bodhi, last week. The little bugger is doing great in his new home. I'm pretty sure he is around 2 months of age. He seems very healthy and content. I have a question regarding his age and supplements. As of now he is on Calcium every day, Calcium with D3 and Multivitamin twice a month. I alternate on Sundays. I was curious about the Multivitamin in particular. Because of his age, would Bodhi need it more often than twice a month?

Right now I am feeding him 1/8 crickets with gutload. Their gutload is blended apple, orange, collard greens, butternut squash, organic carrots, blueberries, sweet potato, and gerber graduate puffs made from sweet potato. I made another blended mix beforehand for the crickets and they wouldn't touch it. They will fight each other for an orange looking blend but not green. So I switched it up, added more orange foods, and made it a little bit sweeter with the apples and oranges. Does this gutload seem adequate? I'm looking into getting Cricket Crack as a dry gutload also. I just want to make sure my little guy gets all the vitamins and calcium he needs. Not too little, not too much. I appreciate your help.

At 2 months he can handle 1/2" crickets. Try a few and she what he does. You will be amazed. He will love the meat!

Thanks! At first I was giving him crickets that were bigger than 1/8. It seemed like it took him longer than usual to swallow them so I downsized. I added three pictures to photobucket to see if anyone can help me with his age. So hopefully this link will work and I can get some opinions. My guess is no older than 3 months and no younger than 1 month.

Most chams are sold above 3 months.

nothing to contribute but- How cute! I am so jealous of any baby, since I got Lily when she was in the double hand months ( 6 mths But not sure)

Let me say it one more time I love babies and yours is too cute!

Aww! Thank you! He is a cutie. I like the fact that I got him while he's still young. That way I will know what all goes into his body. Not worrying that someone didn't take proper care of him beforehand.

I did his first "big clean" today. I just finished actually. My back is killing me! His cage is up pretty high and that did not help things. It was a big task just getting him out of the cage. I tried all the tricks too. He tried to bite me at one point! I think he is about to shed so he is extra cranky. Eventually I had to carefully take out the foliage he was on. I'd rather him get out on my hands that way he doesn't fall so far.. god forbid that would ever happen.

I kind of freaked out yesterday. He had this clear mucus hanging from his vent with a white/yellowish squiggly thing in the middle. After searching around I figured out it was his sperm. I had no idea he would already have sperm! He's still a little guy!
