My sentiment still stands albeit with OP's parents. Ultimately any adult who allows a child to get a pet must understand that they take responsibility for the health and well being whether it be lizard, bird, rodent or anything else. I stress my intention was never to start a debate or to...

My intention was not to start a debate and still isn't, but since when is giving a sick pet away a better option than vet treatment before rehoming. Forgive me if I seem a little sensitive but I have a house full of rehomes thanks to people and their 'good intentions.' Deliberately overlooking...

I'm sorry if i'm out of line but I refuse to congratulate this man on his actions. I'm busting my butt to look after a chameleon that someone else bought on a whim which I don't regret, I love my little guy to bits. I never buy pets without doing the reading so having this little guy in my...

Thanks guys.

So am I correct in thinking that he needs more feeders whilst growing than he would when he's an adult? Is it possible to overfeed him or will he stop when he's eaten eno?gh.

I do have access to locust and some kind of worms, not too sure which they are though. I think I will up them, 4 really didnt seem much.

He hatched on the 20th january and my local exotic pet shop says to feed 4 small crickets a day. This doesn't seem very much to me and he's grown a lot over the past few weeks. I tried to ask how I know when he's been fed enough but im still no clearer. How do you know you're feeding enough...

Yes, i think that's the one. I feel really dumb asking but I knew it had to have a name. Thanks

....but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. What is the 'bump' called which will eventually grow on top of my yemen chameleon's head (he is male). It must have a name and I can keep calling it a bump :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

This is heartbreaking, fascinating and educational all at the same time. I sometimes wonder if information and / or images like this should be given to potential pet owners before they are allowed to buy. May put some people off buying something on a whim. Thanks for taking the time on this.

He's five months old :o My little guy was hatched on 20th January and he isn't even a fraction the size of that. Do they grow quick or should I be worried?

Ok now I'm confused, this thread asks for advise but the above response from another thread doesn't seem to be someone who thinks they need advise? :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

Guys, I'm relatively new here so nobody knows much about me. I keep parrots, dogs, guinea pigs, cats and a newly acquired chameleon (all but one african grey are rescues) and while I am proof that animals can be safely kept in the same house I also know of a woman whose dog killed her bird in a...

Thanks. I bit the bullet and took Ozzy (he's had a name change, Bud didn't really suit him) out of the cage while I caught the crickets. I have to admit he seems to have done a pretty good job clearing them up by himself. Can chameleons be shy? I have tried to watch to be sure he's eating...

Thanks. i find most pets addicting It's just knowing when enough is enough at times isn't it? There's just too many needing help. I was going to buy a marine fish tank but Bud has taken the space, budget and time I would have invested in them. I'm definitely at my limit of what I can look...

Ok that's always useful to know. I don't plan on harassing him so I'm not too worried about the biting. If I do get bitten I'll assume I unwittingly did something to deserve it.

Already I love you guys. I try my best for all of the pets I have. His cage is around 60x60x80 (cm) I don't expect to keep him in this forever but it seems big enough for now. I know every pet has their own personality and even if he decides he's more of a 'loner' than a 'hold me' type...

He is definitely a he, he has the spurs. He has all the appropriate lights and equipment which was my main concern when I got him. His previous owner got bored (not really sure what she expects a chameleon to do?) and wanted rid quickly, she's the typical person who spends a fortune on a fad...

Yesterday, thanks to my mum, I rescued a Yemen Chameleon. Lord knows where she finds these pets in need but he's at my house and here to stay. Unfortunately I know very little about them and need to learn quick. I took him to my local exotic pet store (they are really very good and have an...
