Posted by: Carlton at Thu Feb 15 11:23:34 2007 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Carlton ] I'm sorry to hear this. Not to make you feel worse than you do now (but hopefully helping with your next cham), I can see a couple of things that probably caused his trouble. You unintentionally overdosed calcium (yes, you can overdo it!) by dusting every day once the cham was older than a few months, and were probably missing some other nutrients by using the commercial gutload. Did you use a separate vitamin dust at all? Dusts that combine calcium and vitamins (other than D3) degrade while stored, so if you only used a calcium dust product the cham probably had some deficiencies. Very few commercial gutloads are complete. Unless your cage's room is below 50F at night, you should not be heating the cage at night. Chams require a temp drop of at least 10-15 degrees. Hopefully your next cham will benefit from the cham you lost. | ||
