I would keep doing the baby bin idea. and taking him outside for uv as much as possible, without enough uv it can cause a case of mbd. I would try everything you could to coaxing parents into letting you keep it on
I dont really see a use for it, but just as long as the cham isnt eating it should be okay. Yeah that young I would let him settle in, and keep handling down to a minimum until he gets adjusted and making sure nothing is bother him sleeping , and making sure he is getting enough water!
What kind of lights are you using in your set up, and a little advice, the substrate on the bottom is not good.

Now when I say as a treat please dont think I feed my little guy more than maybe 3 a week if not couple weeks. Like I said I would go with silk or reptiworms, more so reptiworms just because you can keep them longer and easier to keep. Their are many different views on meal worms, but obviously...
Honestly I would dust every cricket every day with Cal no D3, Also Feed the little guy around 10-15 crix, he we need it to grow ! Also, if I had to go with one bug it would be a reptiworm, or silk worm. You can gutload both of them. Reptiworms will last longer , but sometimes after chameleons...
Repti worms, meal worms, silk worms, horn worms, baby manti, butter worms, its a good idea to be diverse but watch what you feed them, like butter worms are very fattening and alot of meal worms could cause a problem due to the outer shell on them. I order all mine from lindasgonebuggie.com...
Well a good start would be a digital thermometer gun , you can pick them up online for 20$ or so or go to lowes and get one for 30. Those temps seem a bit high, most baby-juvie , bask 80-83 Calcium without D3 is also another thing you want to get, make sure the crixs you are getting are small...
When you say shower do you mean a actually shower or just a warm water misting? Because that young of a chameleon you can easily asphyxiate a cham if the water droplets are to large
First off get a screen cage,
Second, remove the substrate from the bottom.
Third, are you misting or what is your water source? It looks like a water bowl in the bottom which can cause bacteria build especially in a glass enclosure.
Fourth, sleeping during the day means that at night...
I would let him eat as much as he can(crickets that is). Also variety is also important. I feed my 2 1/2 month old veiled 10-20 crickets a day depending on the size of the crickets.
