hello, im a new member but have used the site before for reference, and it was very helpful! so im hoping for alittle more insight into my first minor problem with my new veiled chameleon. i'v had him for about 2 months now, and hes growing fast, eats like a pig, and was very active.
over the last week though he has become less active and has developed a limp in his hind legs when we walks, aswell as shakes alittle occasionally when walking. everything else appears normal with him, he eats lots still, stool is regular, laps water up and basks. I use calcium +D once a week with equal part multi vitamine, dusted on his crickets. i mist his cage 2-4 times a day, aswell as leave a water dish and meal worm dish in his cage. I have only recently learned about the advantages of gut packing crickets, so i am starting to do that as of a few days ago. but im worried he has MBD or is getting too much calcium.
what is most likly causing his limp and lazyness, he hangs close into his favorite branch most of the day, if there are any suggestions as to what is causing this and a possible cure to help his limp, since it bothers me to see him suffer
thank you, dave
