Hello there.
Admiral Quincy, my Chameleon. I am worried about him!
Two weeks ago, he began to shed, as normal. - However, he did not shed as healthily as he did before, as in that he didn't do a full body shed, rather than just small patches. Even so! He wasn't eating during that time.
I am aware it's quite normal for a Chameleon to lose his appetite during shedding, so I didn't worry a great deal about it at that point.
However, even still to this day from then, about a fortnight later, he has still been very very put off his food. I have been feeding him primarily Locusts and Crickets, dusted in Calci powder not containing D3. - He had his vitamins just before his shed, and his D3 just before his shed.
Here's the problem, though.
He wont eat anything now. - I have tried hand feeding him waxworms, or mealworms. And usually he will snap those right up without even thinking about it, because they're a treat for him. But he just completely ignores them!
It's not like he is lifeless, or anything. He's perfectly active, and moves around an awful lot.
I had put him in a heated tub on the way to the vets this morning, however, they cancelled the appointment without telling me. - I had noticed that on the way to the vets, however. He was asleep in the tub. - It was blacked out in there, so it might be because he was in complete darkness that he fell asleep? Or is my Chameleon seriously ill?
I have another vet appointment booked for today, but I'd like to know any way that I can keep my little pal in good care, and health, before I take him there.
