Incase anyone is unfamiliar with what was my fun filled Labor Day weekend,
https://www.chameleonforums.com/sad-cham-66521/index3.html.
Bottom line is my baby veiled male wasn't eating for a week. Took him to the vet, he didn't test him because he is so little (the scale picked him upat 1g.) And there wasn't any fecal matter. He prescribed some medicine mixed in with a supplement to force feed him.
Question:
1. any tips on trying to feed via needleless syringe? (It breaks my heart.)
2. Right now outside he is only getting morning sunlight and I know he should have more than that. I live in an apartment so my porch is the only place he can naturally get sun. What would be the best lighting schedule? (Leave him outside during mornings, bring him in under his lamp/ all outside/ all inside?)
***His color has perked up since being outside, but he's still sleeping on and off during the day so we're not out of the woods just yet. Keep your fingers crossed, please!
