Today was a big day for Rocky and unfortunately it didn't go well. After 3 weeks of grub pie and boosting his nutrients I decided to try a horn worm to see if his tongue still works. He was certainly interested but I tried both near him and when that didn't work I tried it in front of him to...
This is so frustrating lol https://www.amazon.ca/Philips-415315-Plant-Light-50-Watt/dp/B008ATHCPO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1489511681&sr=8-1&keywords=Philips+415315 $22 before shipping! My wife will kill me if I spend that after saying I don't need anymore lights lol oh and i need 2:(
I'm just looking for something to help with the plants but I went into a few hardware stores and saw too many options. I know I need 6500k but do I buy cfl, led or halogen? I'm in Canada so its not cost effective to buy from the sponsors sorry. I also want to be as cheap as possible because...
I know hes a chameleon but this is so much bigger and I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around thinking he will be able to stalk crickets in this! They have so many hiding spots and for him to get 10 a day? Crazy lol Any suggestions for changes?
Thanks! It was a shelving unit and tubing with hinges for the front door. Its just a bigger mesh and pinheads could just walk right through. I just hope bigger crickets wont squeeze out.
I set it up tonight but I'm not sure I love it. I bought it used well before Leo came home. I will be changing the plastic tree at the bottom for a real ficus I plan on buying this weekend and removing the 2 plastic plants as the 2 pothos grow in. I'll also be moving the pc in case something...
This was a very pleasant surprise! I've never seen his colors like this on him. Lots of positive changes but he does sometime hang/sleeps near the bottom but I'd like to think he is getting healthier and comfortable
This is great info! So would they be considered a dessert/treat feeder like a horn worm or could it be more of a staple like a cricket or Dubia? They just digest the shell no problem? That's awesome!
Thanks for the advice and amounts Andee and jpowell86 He is also getting Betadine? His strength is getting a little better and feeding and medicating is going smother as well. Here are updated pic's. Again advice welcomed!
Oh and this was a treat "WARNING POO GROSS" I will try to get a fecal done too. Can anyone tell me their opinion on this. I have read poo 101 but I'd like to hear from the experienced.
Between 6 and 7 ml's He also drank a good amount today too. You can see from the pics he is quite swollen but he certainly has little more energy today. I think the Rapshey Grub Pie is the first time he's had anything nutritious before, it might shock his system! Unfortunately we didn't...
This is what I riged up to avoid debris in his mouth. I will look into getting saline as well. I am caefull with the paroxide and qtip too. I really just want him to have the health and strength to feed on his own and even if it's for a shortened time, have a life with comfort. @Andee I...
First off, thanks everyone for the great responses! I am using the peroxide to clean the wound. Application is with a q tip to avoid any going in to his stomach. More infore on the rescue and whats wrong can be found here...
