I will defiantly pick up a variety of things for him the next time I'm at the store. I'll do that feeding "trick" too and I hope that it works. I want him to be a little fatty boy lol not so skinny.
Here's a pic I was able to get of him a bit ago.
By the way, THANK YOU for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
No problem at all. This is what this site is for and I really wish I would have known about this incredible resource when I first got my then baby Veiled, as it certainly would have saved me some stress lol.
From that last pic he doesn't appear to be too skinny. I would have to agree that he appears a little under weight but not to where it's really bad.
A few short notes to ask/tell you, as I don't know what all you know, or what all you have been informed of about chams/Veileds, before I go to bed:
Not sure what time it is where you are at, or if you took that latest pic at night, but if it is dark you should put him up immediately. He should have 12 hours daylight and 12 hours nightime. And he should never be disturbed while it's his nightime and absolutely never sprayed at night: could cause a respiratory infection.
How do you supplement him? In general, everyone uses calcium without D3, calcium with D3, and a multivitamin. And a good schedule to keep is calcium without D3 3-4 times a week dusted on your feeders, and calcium with D3 and the multivitamin twice a month appiece dusted on your feeders (don't do any of them together on the same day but say calcium with D3 the first week, multivitamin the second, D3 the third, and multi the fourth). Nowadays though there has been a revolutionary product to save the time it takes to keep up with that schedule: Repashy Calcium Plus. It states that it replaces all three supplements and I would dust feeders with it every other feeding.
Along with spraying him manually, getting a misting system is convenient if you don't have the time to mist him yourself everyday, I would suggest you get a dripper. This can be as simple as cleaning out a jug or bottle and poking a small hole to let water drip out, or you can purchase a ZooMed Dripper specifically designed for that (they are actually quite cheap with a 70 or 79 oz being like $5 and the 1 gallon at like $8).
And the last thing I can think of: check his heels on his back feet; kinda looks like a smallish casque (maybe because the cham is a little younger, but he kinda looks a little like a she). You're looking to see if there are spurs, little whitish looking bumps (one on each heel) there. If they are then he is definitely male but if not, it is female and you will have to provide her with more calcium (you would have to ask around for someone more experience in dealing with female Veileds than myself to see how much) in order to get ready for her when she lays eggs. She doesn't need to come in contact with a male she will obtain eggs anyways, and there are a few things you would need to ask if it is female, but if it's male then you won't have to worry about any of those things.
