Man those little veileds can pretty much live through anything. I have a little guy that was born and bred by myself that also went through some major trama as a kid. At the time I had just bought a new house and had some issues with the door to the cham room. Long story short, the cats got in.....not good. Because of this...the door is now probably to secure. They nocked over 6 baby cages and ate 4 of my hatchling nosy's, and 2 baby veileds as well. When I found this guy on the floor.....downstairs.....a long way away from the cham room, he was twitching and barely alive. He was also missing half of his top jaw......literally. I had him peged for a goner.....but I warmed him up and over the coarse of the next hour he eventually started moving around. He was only 4 days old at the time so I still didn't think he'd make it. But alas....he did and is still alive and kicking to this day. He's roughly 8 months old now, and other than the face problem he's also pretty significantly stunted for his age. He's a small little guy with lots of problems....but he's got a ton of personality....and character for that matter. I call him predator....because he looks like the predator. lol. I've been meening to get some pics of him up. I'll have to do that tomorrow.
>>Well, I haven't been posting much, but I have been reading your posts each evening. Everyone's chams are looking great. Cyrus is really growing and little Coconut is a doll. After seeing her future mate, I have to say she is one lucky little lady. So are Feenie's "poopies". I burned Valentino-badly-and Eric A. has been helping me deal with my mistakes. I never believed he could possibly survive, but he is one tough little guy. Today, both the boys (separately) had their first taste of outdoors. After Chyam bit me (ungrateful wretch that he is), I think he really enjoyed it outside. Valentino wasn't overly thrilled, but he had just been "buttered" up with silver sulfadine and wasn't particularly happy with his mommy. I'm sure we have a long road ahead of us.
