Disaster

No meal worms, got it. Just pending the silk worm question, if I can't find small ones, cut one in half? And toss that in his mouth after I squirt the antibiotics?

You could try that. The only reason I like a small whole one is that it is alive and feels alive to the chameleon. Make sure you get the fluid way back in the back of their throat behind the opening to their wind pipe. They can move that forward or back.

Yeah I've been pretty adamant on making sure he gets it down, and he does seem to like the taste, lol makes sure he licks his lips after. I'll check my local pet store for small silks tomorrow. If not I'll have to try the cut method. Like I said, thanks Jajeanpierre. Nice to have someone with experience looking out.

Well day two, both his body wounds, one on each side, are closed up nicely. The end of his tail looks a little rough still though and he has some bruising but he's improving.

All silk worms were too large for him, so I coated the meal worms I had with miner-all, and a few crickets, he ate 3 of each! So his appetite is there and I'm super stoked.

So last night I took Rick Grimes in for a 10 day check up! All his wounds are closed and close to healed. The vet weighed him, and from his little 5 g weight the first visit he's up to 11g now! He also said I'm good to stop the anti biotics. Just thought I'd share the update. Thanks to everyone

Excellent news! Thanks for sharing. I am happy we will get to see Rick Grimes updates on here in the future as he grows! Such a handsome little guy. Wishing you and him all the best.
