Could have sworn I mentioned that in the original post.... But anyways he is 20 months old, I am feeding him superworms and earthworms at the moment. I am trying to find roaches, silkworms, and hornworms but am having trouble finding somewhere in West LA to get them. I have been feeding him...
I have tried that as well....I left him outside for about 30 minutes to an hour at a time for a few days in a row....nothing.....I also tried putting him in an inch of warm water three days in a row because that was supposed to get a response....again nothing..
Hey,
So my chameleon wasn't eating or pooping for about 8 days. I took him to a vet while he wasn't eating and the vet said he looked healthy and he didn't think anything was wrong. He eventually got interested in his food again and now he is eating consistently. It has been almost a week...
I don't remember what I cleaned his cage with to be honest..His eyes are open all day, there is a substrate but there are no wood chips or anything like that (was going to change to newspaper tomorrow and get a live plant to put in there)....I bought dusted crickets once a week from a reptile...
Hi,
My chameleon has not eaten in about eight days now and I'm starting to get worried. He is drinking water, but hasn't eaten or pooped in over a week. I went to a vet that told me to try feeding him with a syringe. While we were in the vets office, the vet showed me how to use the...
UPDATE: Since my first post I have changed a lot about Mo's enclosure. I got him the long 5.0 UVB like people said, a few more thermometers to make sure I know what the temp is in different parts of the cage, a ceramic heater, and a timer for his lights. I have also tried giving him...
Sorry about the confusion...my UVB is white its a compact flourescent repti glow 5.0 (oops). The red lights are 75 and 100 W respectively, but I usually just have one on. Where should a heating pad be placed? I heard they can be harmful to chameleons...
I have two UVB lights I think (they are both red). All the lights came with my chameleon when I bought him. My house gets cold at night and it is hard to keep the temperature in the cage above 75 (on cold days), so sometimes I put both on at once...usually it is one or the other. But I am...
Yeah I tried getting him some silkworms but the place I usually go is out..How long can these food strikes last? How long can they go with out eating anything?
And I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but Mo shed just the front part of his skin around the time that I cleaned his cage last (5 days ago)...
Hi,
I bought a male Panther Chameleon that I named Mo about two or three months ago. When I first got him, he was eating mealworms out of my hand daily (3-5)..as well as eating crickets (about fifteen in a week). The crickets are dusted before they are put in the cage. I cleaned his cage...
