Are you sure? It could be something that was eaten?
She wasnt eating for a few days. So i figured it may be that she was bored of crickets. When I gave her waxworms she ate like 7. That was friday. She hasnt pooped since then, I couldnt find any at least. She pooped like 2 days before friday, and I found another one in a plant today but I dont know how old that is. I have a plant with soil in it (organic soil), but that is at the bottom of the cage and she stays at the top.I never see her eat the soil, so I dont think it is that. I guess my question is-should I feed her like I normally do? I dont want to make it worse for her IF she is blocked up some how, but I also dont want to starve her if she is hungry. I will be feeding her dubia roaches, instead of crickets.
How old is she and what kind of chameleon? Adults don't poop every day and can go quite a while between poops. If she is sexually mature and not eating, she could be gravid (if she is an egg bearing species) and ready to lay so make sure you are prepared for that.
First off don't start another thread for this question no need.
Second off cover your soil with large rocks cause it is a concern.
Third that many wax worms is like 6 months worth! There very unhealthy but soft bodied so there not an impaction issue. Feed some dubias and see wat happens. Also its very likely her poop is falling somewhere u just cant find! Very common.
Impaction usually will have other syptoms such as lethargic or hanging near the floor.
I have not heard of this happening from waxworms as they are soft bodied feeders. It has been discussed more that mealworms or superworms could cause this due to their hard exoskeleton.I personally do not have any experience feeding Waxworms, and I might be completely wrong, but I am almost positive that a member of these forums recommended staying away from Wax worms, according to this person there is a risk of impaction from them? Someone please correct me if I am wrong, I do not want to spread false information to anyone! Although if this is correct, it might be the reason as to why your chameleon isn't able to poop.
