Handling - Before getting sick not often as he wasn't keen. He doesn't mind at all now when I'm handling him to help him eat or putting him back on a vine. Not like him at all!!

Hi all and happy new year!!!
I've just emailed the vet in advance and hoping to take simba in tomorrow!! His problems have gone beyond swollen eyes!!
He's now really off balance and falls of his vines at least once a day!! When he shoots his food his aim is off so I'm trying hand feeding...

We can then see what u have and don't have, check temps etc and then go from there :)
Well done for getting the Uv! ;) you absolutely do need a thermometer tho to monitor temps! For a...
Sorry, I now see you have much more cover in there! Looks great.
Basking temp of 90 may still be too high for a 7month old cham.
I kept Simba at about 85F back at 7months I think. I'll have to check some old threads but I'm sure it was 85F.
Try lowering temps again and let us know if...
Papers from vet a VERY interesting read!
I'm now convinced that as well as an infection (as antibac drops deffo made a difference) Simba has Hypovitaminosis A! Which I can only blame myself for. I was always worried about overdosing Simba with Vitamin A which the papers mention is common in...
Thank you very much :D
Not sure on the original idea. I've seen a few variations. Sunny Delight Bottles, Milk cartons, pop bottles etc.... I just thought the green bottle looked better.
Great idea on the tape! Simba has shot the bottle from the outside a few times!LOL
My next one will...
Do u mean turned upside down?
It's so any bug dirt or excess supplement powder can fall out of the bottom (The mesh covers the hole inside the bottom of the bottle.
I don't feed crix, his staple is locusts which seem to want to climb as soon as they're in there, so they climb the mesh at...
Yes, basically easier to clean whole setup, and locusts can't eat fake plants!!!
They made a right mess of them!!!
I know they're great for humidity but I get really stuck for time now so I need to go with what's practical!
Humidity hasn't actually suffered as he gets quite a few mistings...
Didn't take him long to go exploring :)
I'm obviously more impressed than Simba lol!!!!
Still, he took a roach and a morio from me (as he had 2 giant butterworms and a fruit beetle grub on fri so not that hungry)
Let me know what u think :)
Hi all.
Decided to give Simbas enclosure a revamp and replace all the live decor with fake.
So out came everything!!
Gave everything a good scrub with viv cleaner and gave a good rinse. Including giving the mistking system a thorough dismantle and clean including the filter and...
Vet replied to say shes happy with how his eyes are looking and to keep giving him the drops till Friday (so he's had a weeks course) She said to keep the drops tho in case they flare up ever again.
She's also sorting me some copies of pages from her books at home re this issue. I'm picking...
