Mites can become a problem in roach bins especially on uneaten foods, although dubia are not a species that live symbiosis with mites they seem to attract them still. Maybe the mealworms help to keep them in check

So the groundhogs prediction when is spring coming?

Strange the vet wasn't interested in your husbandry. T5 fluorescent linear uvb preferably the length of enclosure 5 or 6% Your supplements might have to do a de tox from d3 & be doing plain calcium every feeding with bi weekly vitamin for a month or longer. Then re-introduce your d3 & minerals...

Does your phone have autofocus? Because I'm convinced its the invisible light it shines out gets my Charlotte all aggy when i get my phone out for pictures 😆

Did vet recommend uvb lighting or ask about your supplements? The eye could be a calcium deposit which i fear could be why your chameleon could be ill and vets asking you to consider euthanasia. If similar deposits in his internal organs brought on by Cholecalciferol overdose then potentially...

I'm concerned about the first picture it appears to me as if you pick your chameleon up. Hope its just maybe my perceived perspective but i dont recommend grabbing chameleons. Instead let it walk onto a stick or your hand because they can get injured ribs, tail or mittens if forcefully removed...

Apple didn't do that for me, i do still put small pieces of butternut squash or sweet potato in but they never really eat it think its too hard for their mouthparts. I find keeping them warm makes them all change in smaller timeframe, around my ambient (uk temperature) i get steady 2/3 flies a day.

Coccidia? I would be going overboard with hygiene regime and deep cleaning daily while on the meds. Just upping spot cleans and deep cleaning can be an effective treatment for low parasite loads in its self. Some who have had coccidia cases have thrown all plants & sticks out 😯
