Veiled chams are notorious for eating dirt from what I have read....Maybe cover up the dirt better with more stones so that he cant move them to get to it also. Maybe someone more experienced can answer better but maybe it is a supplementation problem?
eyes definitely look a bit sunken....are you using a dripper? My veiled will not drink from his dripper if i am watching...maybe give it a good misting with warm water (not too hot). Please fill out the how to form that little leaf has provided so that the community can better help!

Did it look like this? Grasshoppers are known to carry parasites and in most residential areas they are sprayed with pesticides because they are considered pests in the US.
Just thought I would share a couple pictures of Bruce in the first few months of his life :) Photos taken from Iphone so quality is not the best. He is my first ever cham and I have enjoyed every day with him in my home! He is starting to show a bit of yellow in his stripes on his sides and tail...
I usually feed my cham in the morning, so by the end of the day there isnt any left ;). Also I think temperature has something to do with chirping. What type of cham do you have in the cage? If the crickets are not warm enough they wont chirp (might wanna google this to be sure). Also you could...
