This is Bun Bun. I assure you, he's not dead! LOL! He's just lounging after running around, eating grass and exploring. He's pooped from doing 'wabbit stuff. ;)
There was a dwarf rabbit that was wandering around my neighborhood a couple of years ago. He would follow the neighborhood cats around. LOL! Surprisingly, the cats didn't have a problem with him tagging along. I tried and tried to catch him. Every time I'd get close, he'd dart off into the...
Yes! Keep the handling to a minimum so the cham can get acquainted with it's new home! They go on hunger strikes when stressed. My cham barely ate for a few days after getting him. I was so worried! I kept checking in on him. I was told to let him get used to his environment and let him have...

I love Sulcatas! They have so much personality. :) You are an angel for taking in that tort! It's a shame how people purchase animals on a whim without doing research on them first. :( I hate to see animals suffer.
You really need to know the temps inside of the enclosure in order for us to properly answer the question about what to do if the temp isn't adequate. Once you know the temps, we can go from there. If it is concluded that the temps are too cold, you may need a heat bulb with a higher wattage.
Also, here's an easy to understand care sheet for veiled chameleons. I'm sure that your cham will adjust after you correct and fine tune it's care regimen. It's also in a new environment. It takes them a while to adjust. They usually start eating and drinking regularly after becoming acquainted...
