Took in sick baby chameleon with MBD

[Andee]

I would take out the crickets tonight if he doesnt eat them. Has he been pooping regularly.

How long have you had the compact uv light? You need a linear 5.0 t-5 or t-8

Okay, will do. He has pooped earlier today. He's also pooped once per day since he's gotten here.

The lights are brand new. Is something like this your recommending? https://zoomed.com/reptisun-5-0-uvb-t5-ho-high-output-linear-lamp/

Hello! Just adding an update post since about a year and a half ago when I opened this thread for help-- The Vets told me it was likely for him to pass away at the time but using the advise here, he's now a fully grown healthy boy.

To anyone who is seeing this archived post looking for help- there is some very useful information here to help a baby with MBD!

To anyone who helped me out, thank you!! He definitely appreciates it!


Here is Neeko enjoying some sun (He doesn't like cameras so is a little sassy) -

I wasn’t around when you first posted but all I can say is WOW! A total success story! Looking at those baby pics, I would say he didn’t look good and wasn’t going to survive. You did great! He’s quite a handsome guy. Massive kudos!

Can you do month my month shots?
This way others will see the drastic changes and abilities to reshape their bone structure.
I have seen it but did not document. Darn me!
