    How can you feed a chameleon who will not use their tongue and what do you feed them with

    Ugh! I had replied about supplements but then must have gotten called away by work and never posted. :rolleyes: Anyhow, just want to FYI - I have PM’d OP and hopefully we can get his guy sorted out.

    Vacation

    Finding someone that can care for him in your home is best. Check with nearby vets - often the vet techs will pet sit as a side gig. Even though they may advertise only sitting cats and dogs, pet sitters who advertise may agree. Also check with pet/pet supply stores. Often employees are looking...

    New Enclosure!! 4'x2'x4'

    Wow! I love that enclosure! You’ve set it up beautifully too! 🥰 I do agree that more branches or vines will be appreciated by your handsome guy. I like using natural branches and if the lichen doesn’t come off from a little wash/scrub, it gets to stay and I love how it looks. Having a variety of...

    Chameleon becoming territorial?

    Hi. Yup…that’s how our veiled friends do. 😂 Even though he may never be nicer or like you, it is important to build and then maintain trust with him. This is a great blog in that. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blogs/building-trust-with-your-chameleon.2396/ I have a male veiled who was wild...

    Will my Jungle Dawn Bulb be enough?

    What are the plants that are on the walls?

    Chameleon Abdominal Mass

    Not that I can be of any help here, but I’m wondering if they did a side view x ray.

    How can you feed a chameleon who will not use their tongue and what do you feed them with

    But this leaves the question of why his tongue isn’t working. Unless he’s much older than about 2, and hasn’t suffered any injury, his tongue should be working without problem. Let’s do this as simply as possible. What uvb are you using? What is the brand? What is the size (T8 or T5)? What is...

    Feeder bite

    FYI - silver sulfadiazine is by prescription only. Using a q tip is probably the easiest way to put a dab of anything on that. Crickets are just nasty buggies.

    Feeder bite

    If you happen to have any silver sulfadiazine, you can put a small dab on it. Plain neosporin (without pain reliever) can also be used. It should heal up fine, but do keep an eye on it just in case. When feeding crickets, unless you are certain that she has eaten every one of them and none have...

    HELP! Frozen Brown Anole male! Super skinny!

    I’m not sure wild anoles recognize mealworms as a food at first. I’m not really sure what their wild diets consist of, but I’d guess it’s more like beetles, flying things, crickets, maybe ants and things that move more. Whenever I catch one that’s in poor shape from being trapped in my house, I...

    Setting up Enclosure

    This should help you to be able to gauge if your chams are getting a bit chubby. I don’t see anything concerning in the pics you posted. Both Rogue and Millie look healthy to me. :)

    Gutloading Crickets

    Just want to suggest swapping something else for the cucumber and iceberg…both are fantastic for hydration but lack nutritional value. One of my bug diet staples is squash…yellow summer squash (Or zucchini) is enjoyed by all my bugs. I also always have butternut squash. Try various greens...

    Concerned about panther chameleons face

    I don’t know if the Zymox would be helpful or not and I don’t want to give bad info. Maybe call the vet and ask…maybe you can send them pics of the area so they have an idea.
