have you been feeding him lots of mealworms? please send pictures of the enclosure and chameleon. my case would be impaction (from the information i have now)
let him settle into his new cage for 3 to 4 weeks without handling. just feed him. try and get him to trust you as early as possible cause babies are not as concerned as adults are. what are his basking temps? do you have any red lights on at night? honestly i highly would suggest to sticking...
thats really cool man. i never really had problems with my lil dude hand feeding but she should get used to your hands from holding tongs. which it looks like she has done. does she ever let you hold her without force?
usually i go to petsmart cause the crickets are healthier there. but ususally the chameleons are bought fast. i never see the same chameleon twice. and usually their babys. (2 months max) and i hate to see that there is substrate and even a log-hide. they are not Turtles!
well i hope you spent a lot of time with him in his last few days. he definitely was in the greatest care he could get. is not your fault. you did everything you could. im sorry
first off ditch the red light. then start hand feeding her. if her leg is swollen and can barely run around i dont think she will be able to hunt or catch her food. and lastly fill this out below:

first off ditch the red light and start hand feeding her. if you release the crickets in the cage and she can barely walk she wont be able to chase food around. (nice making 2 seperate chats. i was confused....)
poor guy. try and take a live plant or such and place it in your bathroom, then turn the shower on not too hot but warm. and place him on the live plant. the mist from the shower should hydrate his eye. he looks dehydrated to me. and the veil is very odly shaped for a male
honeslty you can try to grab a cricket for a superworm. when he goes for it just switch it out real quick, instead of rubbing food on their lips (like i have heard)
