Hi ya Kate,
I never received mine, but now I'm not so sure if I pressed the "pay" button properly. Knowing me that is the case. Ordered calci-worms instead and got them the next day. He ate loads, so must have just been bored of critters.
Did you get your silkworms?
Keeping my options open, just remembered he seems to be interested in flies. A couple of my calci-worms hatched into soldier flies and he ate them. So are there any type of flies that I can get in the UK? If not maybe I'll try and hatch more calci-worms instead.
Thank you for the quick reply. How do I keep them @ that temp? Should I keep them in my chams enclosure? And do I need some sort of bedding/substrate for them?
I've read threads about this before and hoped I would never have to go through it BUT my veiled has lost his appetite. He used to eat as much as he could (crickets, locusts & calci-worms) in 2 feeding sessions but a week ago he suddenly ceased eating. If I really persevere he will eat 1-2 each...
My veiled seems to enjoy time out of his cage. He usually comes over to climb up my arm when I'm spraying or cleaning. I live in England so it's not usually warm enough for him, unless it's a particularly hot day, so I have a heat lamp set up at a window where he goes to get warm. But I...
Hi Janetta,
I confess I'm no I'm no expert, same as you actually, I've owned many reptiles but now have my 1st chameleon after years of wanting one. I hand picked mine from a large clutch because he was the friendliest. I have held him and hand fed him every day (unless he is particularly...
Hi Kate, hope you're ok. After reading lots of threads about dehydration I got freaked out about Neo getting sick so I adapted your idea and he is now drinking water daily from a nurofen syringe. Just small drops at a time. It seems to be working so thank you :0) Will post a vid when I figure...
Thank you Jan, he's called Neo and I hope he'll be ok too, the family wouldn't be the same without him. I already contacted my local vet when I bought him home to check they can treat chameleons and it's only down the road from me. I will keep an eye on him and I'll take him to the vet if it...
Yea the tip, about an inch or so but it's back in as normal now. He's eating fine. I've watched him eat many times and he wasn't about to fire his tongue at prey, it was just sticking out for no apparent reason. Here is a pic I took earlier. Do you think he looks healthy?
Hi Camimom,
He did retract it but only a few seconds after I gently misted his face. I don't know whether he had just eaten because I wasn't in the room. But he was in the same place as I had left him, hadn't moved. Wasn't basking, just sitting on his hibiscus plant with the tip of his tongue...
