Tips on rehydrating a veiled?

scmeier Mar 25, 2004 10:42 AM

Does anyone have tips on rehydrating a veiled chameleon? I have recently adopted one from a less than ideal situation and she appears dehydrated and a bit hungry. Any help on rehab would be greatly appreciated.

The best way to get them quickly rehydrated is to place them in a ficus tree or other tall plant, and place the plant in the shower. Run a warm shower over the plant and the Cham and it should drink up. Be sure the water spray isn't too powerful. And make sure the water is warm, not hot. You may want to do this every day until the Cham is rehydrated.

good luck.
