Hi Soph I live in Basildon Essex & was going to try Wylies at Upminster as Ive heard preety good reports about them.I spoke to a Mr Lewis about him but after what he said about the amount of water I should be giving Im not sure. Riddle is a nightmare for sitting still so am going to give him until wednesday this week just giving 1ml extra water daily & hand feed locusts to see if this makes a differance. If not Iwill take him to vet can you reccomend anyone better I only earn minimum wage so please not
too expensive.
Thanks so much Heatherxx

MR Lewis is very good. His particular interest is Rabbits - he has taught us at the RVC. I would still use him.
If you dont mind travelling, the is Mrs Everett in Snodland, just off the M20 who is very good too.
I have checked and the amount of fluid Chams shoudl normally drink per day is around 35mls/kg/24 hours. So for Rhydian that would be around 2mls a day. So lower than what Id said before, sorry Embarassed

Bare in mind a lot fo the time some chams wont be seen drinking.
Is this helping at all? Crying or Very sad

Hi Soph thanks for finding the correct amount for me yes that helps a lot.Perhaps I have been giving him too much thats why his toilet was so wattery today. It didnt smell much so hope this means no parasites. He hasnt been basking so much today so maybe he had a bit of tummy ache if he was a bit constipated before. Will carry on giving 1ml extra daily to see if that helps. Thanks so much for your time Heatherxx
