So I completed all my requirements for the advanced scuba certification this weekend! Our course culminated with a night dive (spooky but wonderful!) and an EPIC 130 ft shipwreck dive. This place is known for it's strong currents, bull sharks, and the occasional great white appearances. It's...
I'm glad that there's people like you out there that care. Regardless, in cases like yours it's the individual person who chooses to go the extra mile to learn.
Like you said, you made time yourself in order to do extra research to ensure that the animals are receiving proper care. In my case...
My boy is 9 months old and has gotten pretty picky lately. He went on a hunger strike which had me very concerned. I'm not sure if there are any underlying issues with your cham, but in regards to the mealworms, why don't you try to switch it up to superworms instead? Superworms look similar...
You not only have the prettiest babies out there, but you take the most amazing pictures as well. All of your babies seem so sweet and comfortable around you. Looking forward to more updates :)
No light at night. Chameleons need total darkness to be able to sleep. Also yes a temp drop at night is recommended. I think as long as you don't go under 50 you should be fine, but let's wait for someone with more experience to confirm :)
Are you sure you should be dusting with D3 every day? I thought all chams needed the same type of supplementation until a member pointed out that this was not the case yesterday lol. I'm not sure about your chameleon's specific needs but I'd look into the whole D3 thing or maybe start a thread...
I worked at a pet store for a while when I was younger, and all the preparation I had before I began working was a one hour course to learn about the products they offer. People would come to me with all sorts of questions related to animal care and health... Everything from fish to birds and...
Have the roaches helped? My boy became very picky too all of a sudden. Haven't given the roaches a try yet (i'm scared lol) but I have been considering ordering some to see what happens. Ultimately, if they're just being picky, I doubt they'll starve themselves to death lol. I've read posts...
You still need to make more changes to your setup. Did you take your cham to the vet? Chams need very specific things and failing to provide can have very bad consequences. I’d fill in that form mentioned above so the people on the forum can help you out a little. Chameleon care is complex and...
So I spray painted the mesh with black last night and it’s craaazy how much nicer it looks! Applied the first coating of weatherproofing sealer to the wood today and the tint that it has to it also gabe the cage a really nice touch!
Only problem I’m having now is that I didn’t think about...
Oh wow, thanks for the clarification! I’m assuming it has something to do with lower temps in the mountains? Gonna be researching tonight, thanks for the info :)
Hey! Your supplement schedule needs to change a little :)
You should buy a total of three different supplements:
- Calcium without D3 (dust feeders daily)
- Calcium with D3 (once every two weeks)
- Multivitamin (once every two weeks)
Also, mealworms are not good for chams since they could...
