I can't guess why Phi was eating so much, but he was a 'baby' and he ate like that until a few weeks ago... and I wanted him to eat as much as he wanted because my first (and late) chameleon was underweight & sickly (he developed hemipene prolapse, which lead to surgery because of necrosis, and...

I started Phi on less crickets & worms immediately. He's going to be a big boy, tg, and I want him healthy, which is why I posted anyway. Thank you all for your advice & for agreeing... less crix & worms. It made it easier to change his regimen, and I also report that he's choosing less...

..."chams are by far my favorite pet now..." Gotcha! Phi is my tranquilzer. I didn't see him yesterday (I was gone) and I missed him so much! Today we hung out. I am better now.

I'm not feeding weed to any animal, but isn't a leaf, a leaf? Edit: was the plant sprayed with fertilizer or bug spray?... That's when a leaf ain't a leaf!!!!! I mean, Phi eats leaves frequently. I soak and then offer him a little parsley (latest kick), but can they become clogged? Awaiting...

How are his urates?

OK - what about CC and veileds? Anyone have praise or problems they can share, please?

I am concerned about keeping up with his calcium needs because he is growing so fast... Your words scared me. I actually gave thought to turning away from CF because of the post, but slept on it, and realize you are trying to warn me, not freak me out, so thank you. Gonna see the vet & be more...

So, I am guessing that with Phi's remarkable growth spurts, the calcium is even more important. I am off to get he supplements he needs. Thank you for advising me! Today he is 6 months old; Happy Birthday, Phi!

THe 'asking for help' info Chameleon Info: Phi is a Veiled Chameleon, male, 6 months old. I have had him since 6/11/12, when he was 4 weeks old. I handle him at least three times a day. He comes out to eat in his feeding station, he comes out to free-range & he is handled when I shower (he...

Phi, my 6 month old veiled, is up to 95 grams and is way bigger than my last chameleon was when he was 18 months old. He is growing really fast. He is healthy & self-satisfied looking... is it possible that they can grow too fast?

They are on their way to becoming mealworms again... http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/insects/beetles/mealworm/mealwormlifecycle.shtml Life Cycle: The mealworm undergoes complete metamorphosis. The female darkling beetle lays hundreds of tiny, white, oval eggs, which hatch into tiny...

Good lord! You can overfeed a chameleon?

Is there anything we can send you? Do you have enough lizard food?

How old is 'grumpy butt'? He's beautiful!

Guess who's sleeping like a log! Thank yous again!

He's been eating from there since we picked him up. With my first one, the vet told me Chameleon's ate 5 or 6 crickets a day. We then had an issue with Mozart being thin. A whole bunch of stuff... long story, short: Phi is as big as Mozart was when Mozart was 18months old. Phi is 2weeks shy of 6...

Thank you both! Red light will be repurposed ;-) I shall go with SandraChameleon's recipes, and the little green guy is probably grateful to you too (two). I am attaching photos for your viewing pleasure! One is him climbing into his feeding station and the other is Phi looking cute.

Not sleeping well! Chameleon Info: Phi is a Veiled Chameleon, male, 5.5 months old. I have had him since 6/11/12, when he was 4 weeks old. I handle him at least three times a day. He comes out to eat in his feeding station, he comes out to free-range & he is handled when I shower (he hangs out...

Not sleeping through the night My little green guy doesn't seem to sleep through the night. His crate is in my bedroom, and when I walk by he's rolling his beautiful eyes around often enough, that now I am asking if this is normal. Sometimes he naps during the day... but that's to be expected...

I have a pothos in the shower (it grows so well there!) and shower with mine always. I put him in his plant and just carry on. I don't excessively splash anything, and I drip water on Phi, my little green guy. I make sure that the water temp is safe for a baby, thus safe for Phi. He's used to...
