What to do if you encounter a wild animal problems ?
In case of a baby bird , try to find the nest . He's probably not far off . Failure to find him , should leave it on a high , but safe , where their parents can easily locate it . As a last resort , we recommend call the RSPCA . Soon they will contact the rangers to coordinate the reception of animal.
If the animal found in the field is most likely be " bedridden " , ie lying and trying to camouflage. Be kept waiting for their mother, who is nearby, find , protect and nurse . Never touch it , because otherwise it will permeate human scent and her mother refused. We recommend away ASAP. If someone has touched or caught in arms , you need to call the RSPCA that we take it.
If an animal is injured , we recommend covering it with a towel or garment and place it in a quiet place . Caution should be exercised with the claws of birds of prey, the peaks of the vultures , storks and herons and biting carnivores ( fox, marten, badger, etc. . ) As well as the horns of deer ( roe deer). If possible and always take all necessary security measures , we recommend introducing the animal in a cardboard box with holes and then call the RSPCA to coordinate the receipt ranger animal and is delivered to the centre where it can be treated properly .
We strongly recommend taking into account the following guidelines when helping a wounded animal : during the summer , you should never leave an animal nor sun should be offered food and drink . Do not give any medicine and not have to try to make bandages unless it is already used to make them. Failure to follow these guidelines , despite good faith , may be harmful to injured animals .
If you can not help an injured wild animal, call the RSPCA recommend giving information as detailed as possible , the type of animal and its location. Ideally, try and stay in the area until the experts coordinate the most appropriate help.
There are 8 points prepared for collection of animals challenged . Anyone can take the animal to these points or contact centre staff to coordinate delivery.

A little about chameleons as pets
It is easy to find adequate food for our chameleon reptiles in specialty stores because we buy assorted insects for them. We will not pass insects caught in nature since we can pollute our pet insecticide plus environmental concerns .
An economical way to get live food is raising him ourselves, but it is an activity that requires time, physical space and investment in containers and food for the insect. The good of raising ourselves is that we know how healthy that food is for the chameleon.
We will give the chameleon a varied and complete diet. Something cheap that can complement the main live feed are flies . An easy way to get them is to buy a package of larvae on a fishing bait shop , keep in a warm place to spend a chrysalis in about 14 days we fly . Then store them in plastic containers for about three days and fed with molasses , milk powder , cereals for kids and vitamin water drinking water. Finally , we will give a supplement of vitamins and minerals and can give as food to the chameleon.
The chameleon also likes green cockroach and generally feed on live insects as may be crickets, grasshoppers , cockroaches , moths, meal worms , flies, larvae of blowfly , slugs , isopods , larvae of darkling beetles and spiders .
Experts estimate , the best time to feed the chameleon of land is in the morning and the true chameleon afternoon. Large species must get used to the tweezers with which we give them food or the feeder where they hunt insects , but not all will end up getting used . With those who are more shy let live insects inside the terrarium so they can hunt them at your own pace .
Water needs are covered Chameleon with spray. However, the biggest give them water with a pipette twice a week and those who do not drink voluntarily sprinkle them directly in the mouth .
In addition to the usual diet , keep in mind that all animals that serve as food for the chameleon should be dusted with a mixture of calcium and vitamins. Furthermore, once a week until the animal is provided five drops of a liquid multivitamin compound directly into the mouth . Also, add more liquid multivitamin , a teaspoon of calcium gluconate per 5 liters of water, and less of a drop of iodine solution twice a week to water intake.

Introducing the Uromastyx
The uromastyx is also called spiny-tailed lizard is a vegetarian exotic pet that needs a lot of space to be comfortable , so we provide a suitable place to live in perfect condition.
The uromastyx grows to 50 inches and in the terrarium must recreate their natural habitat . To do this , you must install a cave where sleep and shelter- and need another sunbathing area , which may be under a light bulb with a temperature between 45 and 55 degrees, because your body needs warmth . The heat source should be installed at a safe distance from the animal to avoid having physical contact and suffer injuries.
We also put a good UVB lighting for our uromastyx properly synthesize vitamin D3; also will include top and side vents. As for daily cleaning , you must remove the leftovers so they do not decompose and their droppings. The crystals will clean with mild soap and water and to clarify well to remove all traces .
As for feeding uromastyx , your diet consists of fruit and vegetables because it is a herbivore pet: likes turnips, cabbage, red cabbage , green beans , parsley, etc. . We can also give insects because they have lots of protein, much like baby bearded dragons . If not well tolerated we can replace tofu. No need plenty of water but at times like after deworming or when the female lays eggs itself require drinking large quantities.
