Thank you for posting this, it helps so much to hear that there's a chance for a good outcome. Having read your thread I also took a large decor tree and stuck it on our master bath shower for him to have some free range time. He explored all 6 feet of that and was a lovely bright green color...
oh, crap. I thought you were offering a different solution than my idea but you were probably just showing your own creative solution. In light of that I was probably pretty offensive. I'm so sorry!
That seems more elaborate, more expensive, and more work for same result, don't you think? Please correct me if I'm wrong...is the sink's basic function here to act as a funnel? If the collection is in the bucket why does one need a deep sink?
I agree! He has grown so fast and seems less than steady on the branches these days. I have sadly not had much luck finding a ficus that has supportive branches either (that will also fit in his enclosure). When I was searching the local nursery they had a display made of manzanita tree. It...
My thought was to ditch the grass, and simply set the screen cage on top of this contraption. It's grooves are flat but the bottom is graded for drainage to one side.The drawer could be emptied, or it could be left off and a bucket placed below, if one's set up allows. The grass could even...
Since I'm anticipating a cage upgrade I thought I would consider a better drainage idea. Has anyone thought of using those new indoor dog potty systems for water control? Below is an example I'm looking at.
I have some live pothos in there, but nothing live that I have tried so far has had branches that can support his weight, so the fake is doing that job for him. I have been thinking of finding a 36" well forked tree branch to use as support fo and draped with pothos vines because even the fake...
Ever since Norman started his cage climbing he hasn't returned to his previously good color. He's plainly stressed, and I'm worried I can't fix it. He's had a shed recently, he eats fine, his poop is fine, but his color is just dark and unhappy looking. All the time. Even when he's just...
Norman has always been a reliable eater, but several days ago I found my hornworms were starting to get oversized, so i decided to feed him the two biggest before they had any more opportunity to grow. they looked basically like water balloons, and I recalled that chams could handle larger...
I agree, I got the idea he may not have enjoyed the experience much. I'm pretty sure I was almost as stressed out by it as he was, so I'm thinking not an everyday thing...
I noticed the last couple of days he's not been in all out attack mode when I offer my hand, even letting me rub his chin gently without hissing, so....I took the next step! He didn't just hop on my hand though, I had to coax, and then once I had him it was all out race for my head and any...
Having taken the advice of the wonderful people of this forum, I started purchasing a months supply of BANDED crickets online. They are ever so much hardier and without doing much different I am hardly having any deaths at all and a BIG PLUS is they don't seem to smell! So far I am buying 250...
I think he is growing a little now. We've been adding tiny crickets, and he eats one occasionally that we can see. I weighed him again today and he was 3g, so I wonder if I got a bad weight that first time?
Ok, will look into the vitamin A. Thanks so much for taking the time to brainstorm Norman's issue. In what way do you think the misting might be affecting him?
