Sorry I did need see this post before, I totally agree with a well rounded diet. As a human, we want a rounded diet to maintain are figure. I mean i spend more money on health foods then i do on clothes, but that's neither here or there.
Everyone needs to understand, that i do give the...
Although I was given the information to just feed my crickets dog or cat food, I still kept a wide varitey. Because I thought about my diet. What I need to eat to maintain my weight and get my blood sugar from dropping.
I get these dog meat loaf things, I put a slice in there. Right now, I...
i feel like my chameleon is the same way. I find warming the water a bit helps. I live in a very hot climate and i leave my filtered water outside to warm up (just to make sure its not to hot for them) and i mist the plants instead of her. I also just use a dripper, the water collects on top of...
Okay, that is very informative.
I will take the spinach out of the crickets diet. I often buy collard greens and others that were mentioned for myself, so i can use that instead. And i am going to cut down on the dog food. I do supplement my chameleons with d3 calcium.
It was also...
that just makes me sad because I trusted this guy because of his experience. before I got my two chameleons, i researched as much as possible. I just want the best info on how to take care of my chameleons!
So, I had a vet tell me that i should be feeding my crickets dog or cat food after i bring them home from the store. He said to just grind it up put it at the bottom with carrots or water cubes and they will provide extra nutrition for my chameleons.
Before I seen the vet, I fed my crickets...
oh and the bowl at the bottom was an effort to try to get him to eat more. I would put 10 small crickets there and have him hang on to a branch above it and left him there. but he wasn't interested.
I had other plants in te terrarium like i mentioned before but i took them out because when...
No they live seperately, I was cleaning out my females cage once and left them her in there because they both fell asleep together. there is light because of my flash on the camera. When I first got them there were stayed together. they came from the same clutch, the pictures are named that...
I've had every test done to him that you can imagine, and he is healthy and happy, he is just under weight and a very picky eater. I'm working on getting him variety but unfornately I am limited to what my store offer. I bought some horned worms once, and they came to me all dead and they were...
that one is a humity gage. and yeah it is crap. i bought a new a few days ago actually. It works alot better.
the basketing area is 85 (sometimes can get to 90, i live in the driest and hottest climate ever, arizona, and even with the air on, it get hot here) and the ambibnt area is 78.
He...
So what would a free range set up look like? I'm really curious now. You would probably need alot of trees. definately a humidifer and a deep bucket for food. somehow hang lights and uvb light.
WOW! I want one. i could make mine look so good too!
Okay someone needs to help me find info on...
I've had them seperated for 4 weeks now. The first weeks, he did great. He ate 10 crickets in a week. Now he is not eating. I am giving him small crickets and small meal worms. He has no interest in the crickets at all!
I've let a few crickets roam the cage. I've put them into a deep...
So what would be considered to big for him. I know a store that has them and I believe they were about an inch or so long. would that be too big for him?
the store that i go to has small and small medium. so I get medium for my girl, Talula, who about normal size and I get small for him.
I would say about half of an inch they are. I have seen him eat bigger ones tho, which was not intended for him but he gladly took it. But that was 4 weeks...
he is approximatly 4 months old.
I took both my chameleon to the vet becasuse i was afraid for pest, and i got them both tested. and he did have pest. so that has been treated. He was weighing at 6 grams and that was three weeks ago. He seems to be a bit bigger then he was b4, but is still...
Really go to www.lllreptile.com I got my hood and light for under 20 dollars. I got a heat lamp that you can adjust the tempature higher or lower for under 10 dollars. Look in to it. They have alot of great stuff. I got to get their repfogger next :) They are the cheapest site I ever came...
So right now i have my male chameleon being housed at the exotic pets being he is under weight and refuses to eat. So they are keeping him for a week to see if there is a better option for him.
If he does eat crickets, it will be about 2 and then he won't want to eat again. He loves meal...
i once had to to give my chameleons medicine and my female was vibrating and making some noise. She was definately mad at me tho coz i had to hold her like the vet would and put medicine in her mouth.
:(
