i cant really understand you but you need to be feeding more than 2-3 crikets for thats many piggs everyday. your starving them.

You have 3 chameleons in a 12x12 cage?

didnt even see that. you need some change. they arnt healthy in those kinda of liveing conditions.

I think your cage size is fine (they're pygmies) but your temperatures are too warm. Cage should not be more than 26*C! Feed 2-3 crickets for each Cham so 9-12 crickets every other day! If you see feces they are eating. You probably don't see them eat because there are too few crickets. Feed them more and lower the temperature.

a 12x12x12 is ok for 3 piggs? well than i know what im putting in clairs baby cage when chloe gets a new cage.

a 12x12x12? thats like what a 10g square maybe a little bigger? from what i have read the rule with pgymies it 15gallon for a male/female pair and +5 gallons for every other chameleon so i would think he needs a 20gallon for 3. i personally think you should just get a 29gallon so they have plenty of room and (just an idea) since crickets always seem to find corners leave the corners free of plants so it makes it easy for the pgymies to find food.
do you have alot of dense plants they need to be hidden.

Yeah I was thinking 18x18x18...his cage is too small. I wouldn't have more than a pair in a cage that size and that would be close quarters. Scratch my original comment: get a bigger cage as well.

Though so.

THX FOR REPLY

PLZ HELP

Your cage is too small so they might be fighting or scaring each other away from food. They need more space or one might not get food because the others are scaring it and it could die.

5DAY NOT EATING
1 CAHMELEON USE Tongue ATTACK THE LEAF?!

1.I CHANGE THE 18X18X18 GLASS CAGE
2.ONE COMPUTER FAN,TOP OF CAGE
3.changefood..I GIVE A MEAL WORM,BUT THEY DON"T EAT..

This is to stop all the confusion.

The 12x12x12 terrarium is too small for 3 pygmies. A good size for 3 is a 12x12x18. I have successfully kept many 1.2 colonies in those. Just ask Tattooface who I sold a 1.2 colony fully setup terrarium w lights. They bred fine in there. You must also heavily plant the terrarium. This allows them to hide if they feel the need.

The temps aren't that bad but could be dropped a little.

Feedings should be about 9-10 small crickets dusted with multivitamins and should be dropped in every other day.

How big are the crickets your feeding them?

Also, how often are you touching them?

Just say this post.
Crickets need to be their main diet!!!
Mealworm are way too big for them!!!
Please don't kill the little guys. This happens way too often with Pygmies!!

If he shot a leaf with his tongue that means he is hunting, so he is probably eating when you're not looking. You watching them all the time is probably scaring them. Put more crickets in there if they're all gone so he has something to hunt.

Well said ferret!! Just drop some crickets in and let them be.

BTW. Their "shit" is not white. They are like birds and only have one "exit" hole. The white is the pee. It normally comes out with a little brown poop ball. If you see white it mean they are at least drinking which is a good sign but they do NEED to eat as well.

WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW?????
PLZ HELP......

THX GUY , I HOPE THE CHAMELEON ,DON"T LEAVE ME

first off you should put the other female in with the pair. Its better to have a trio than a pair because it relieves a little stress with multiple females, so the male has more than one female to bother when trying to mate.

I currently keep a 1.4 colony in a 18x18x24. They are perfectly fine and I have clutches from all 4 females and another clutch from the 5th femlae that died (god rest her soul, it was her first clutch and she was kind of young, it happens).

All you can really do is leave them alone. Feed them, mist them, and let them be. They are for observation only.

Make your friend not take them out and play with them. They aren't for playing with.

Thx all guy and god~~~
3 chameleon eat again:d:d
