You can't clean her eyes. She does it herself, when there is moisture in the air. That's part of why misting her cage is so important. Stay away from the meal worms, and stick to the crickets then. I don't what type of online shopping you have available to you.

Carissa,
With five months in this setup, your girl very likely has Metabolic Bone Disease. She really needs to see a vet.
We recently had a new member that was going through much the same thing, I will link to her thread. Her little girl is doing much...
And our chameleons are solitary creatures. She does NOT like to be held. It stresses her out and causes unseen problems. Even if she runs out of the cage to you, it is likely that she is trying to get away from her cage, and not to you.
Where is Durban?
Carissa,
Unfortunately, there is quite a bit of your husbandry (the way you take care of your chameleon) that needs to be corrected. These guys are very finicky, and will not thrive without very specific parameters.
Here is a link to a care sheet, and it very simply lays out everything you...
Copy and paste, in case you're on mobile. Fill this out, asap, so someone can help you.

I would think it's fine, but turn it upside down, and check all the joints. I've had ceramic decorations, made for reptile cages (bearded dragon), that drew blood on me, because of a sharp point. Check them for anything that might scratch your cham, or rust in the misting. I have seen lots of...
Have you kept reptiles at all before? Chameleons have very specific and intensive needs. It might be better to show your parents you can be responsible with something really simple, like a crested gecko. With that species, you can handle them, and they don't require live bugs. You can also...
Could the lighting fixture be a problem here, veterans? When you say double light fixture, are you using one of the coiled uvb bulbs? If so, they aren't very efficient, and your buddy may be lacking the proper uv to absorb his calcium. The beginnings of MBD can often be an inability to use...
Sorry, I read too quickly. I thought you meant how long will the bag last, not each feeding. Again, a lot of different factors. Just check the food levels when you open up to get feeders, if you're feeding every other day. My dubias will clean out two egg slots worth in two days. Granted...
Not a fan of the thread. I have some of Matt's Tourmaline eggs, and have close to a year to wait for them to hatch. This thread makes it even harder! ;)

Also, a very helpful read for us new keepers. There's a lot to be learned from poop.
That orange urate often indicates dehydration. Can you fill out the following form? Also, post pics of your setup, and your cham?

You are responding to a very old thread. Start a new one, and you can probably get some help. The first thing they will ask, is that you fill out the following form, with very detailed answers. There are seldom cut and dry answers, and they like to know everything about your...
