A good learning lesson would be to google each different type of bulb and what their purpose is. Then bring info into reptile and plant world.
It might take longer but it will make sense. ---Incandescent- iridescent- LED- Things will get easier to understand.
if you have the time.
Back in the day-- I did a pie chart so I would remember. New bulbs now and they are only getting better.

Hey guys. He is getting better! He is improving In strength and walking better. He actually got on a low branch ND held it for awhile. I also noticed this am his crown grew !!! He still is not hand feeding yet. I am still having to feed him. I not sure if he is doing it without me but I have still offered him a few dusted crickets in his cage. I got him a new light, I have been doing proper vitamins and making sure to gut load his food properly. O I also got a retirain system

great news-- all we can wish for now is for baby steps with his recovery.
Since chameleons love to hunt, try smaller than normal food items (hope it will trigger natural instincts) then he will be eating like a monster.
Don't worry about the hand feeding for now, he seems very cautious (the EYE look).
His colors look great too-- not fired up with anger. Good job!

Quick question. Is it bad to make the feeders look like powered donuts?
It's too much of each supplement if the insects are heavily coated.. It also kills the insects faster as a rule.

Yes they should be lightly sprinkled right? At first I was shaking them in a bag like shake n bake chicken hahha. But I stopped doing that after reading about it

I learn something new everyday. Good luck with Ozzy!!
You don't want water to Lay stagnant and bacteria to build up.
Why not put one or two insects in loose and see if he will eat on his own I'd take them back out at night if he didn't eat them so they won't bite him.
Or you could hold an insect a little bit away from his mouth to see if he can shoot his tongue out and get it or not.
The tongue often can't shoot out right when they have MBD because the muscles are week as well as the bones.

I've tried hand feeding him and he just doesn't act interested but I will ait I have been feeding him alot the past 3 weeks because we were having a dehydration issue and he wouldn't drink and I know food can help.
How do you know he was dehydrated? What color were his urates?
