I bought my Chameleon when he was 3 months old. When I got him he was easy to have out of the cage, and he liked being out. As time went on he was harder to take out, and now I can't take him out at all because he hisses, puffs up and tries to bite
. (he's a year old now) I used to also leave the cage open and he'd come out on his own, but when it was time to put him back he kept running off my hands and falling onto the floor
. I used to leave the cage open and he'd come out, but I was always able to pick him up when it was time. I just don't do that anymore cause I don't want him to get hurt.
Is there anything I can do to get him to allow me to handle him again?
I don't want to stress him out if it's not possible.
Second question....
I feed him meal worms. I was thinking I would like to try crickets. I'm a little worried that when he tries to catch them he'll end up eating the jungle ground that I use on the floor of his cage (it's like dirt/soft wood chips) I just don't want him to end up eating that when he tries for the cricket.
Any sugestions on either would be great.
Thanks.
