Wow! They are pretty expensive! I might have to save to get one. The vet bills for calcium shots make it seem worthwhile though. I bought new UVB bulbs for him but the ones I bought before were new too. I only got those in March. They might be still good. Now I don't trust them. I might be good...
Ever since Kermit was diagnosed with MBD, I no longer trust the UVB bulbs. I bought them from my local petstore. They are only three months old. I was going to buy new the other day but not sure that new ones would be better. I have 4 enclosures and I thought it would probaly be better for me to...
Thanks very mush for this and all of your help. I gutted the crickets today. I had to force feed Kermit, but he seems stronger after I did. Was trying to climb today. He has a very strong grip.
Thank you! I have been crying all morning. I just went and cut the legs off some crickets so I can put them in a very shallow dish. I'm hoping Kermit can eat them from there. He has always been shy about eatting. I was amazed when he opened his mouth for me the put the calcium just a bit ago...
We just made it back from the vet. Kermit does have MBD. Beaker (his brother) is starting to show early signs of MBD. Kermit got injection an I am to give Kermit and Beaker liquid calcium everyday for two weeks. I got to take Kermit back in for another injection on friday. Then he is going to...
I got the calcium but couldn't get him to open his mouth to drop some in. I am just completely heartbroken. I thought I was doing everything right for him. The only thing I can figure is I have a piece of plastic reptile leafy stuff hanging from the hook for the hanging plant, and that's where...
Well I got him in and put a light blanket over the cage for the night. He went to sleep. It is early for him but I don't want him to suffer. He will see the vet tomorrow. I will let you guy know what he says. I just hope that it's not something that I could have prevented. I feel horrible for...
Here is a pic of his enclosure! All of my other enclosures are similar. I'm goint to keep him in the bird cage til I get him to the vet. So he doesn't get hurt. Is there something I should change though to prevent this for my other chams? Does it come on quick like that or could he have eatten a...
He does get UVB and calcium. I will go get some liquid calicium. His Uvb just goes thru screen. Right now I have him outside for natural light. I don't know how. I read on here took all the precautions, Supplements and lighting. I also have another veiled from the same hatch. He is fine, but...
Here is a video of him. It is heartbreaking. I'm waiting on the vet to call me back, but it will probaly be tomorrow before they can see him.

I am trying to get a video to upload. I'm going to call the vet back. I think he is acting alot worse. He is not moving his arms or legs right. He keeps turning them different directions. I don't understand how he was completely fine yesterday morning. I fed all the othe chams the same food. But...
