Acting weird after shed

[mattcast1214]

My Jackson's chameleon shed for the first time (since i've had him) about a week ago and he has been eating very little since, he's about 10 months old. I tried feeding him butter and silk worms along with crickets, but no go and i've only seen him eat about 4-5 crickets over the last week. Is it normal for them to lose a bit of their appetite after shedding? Also, he's been climbing all over the cage screen non stop so he is still really active and drinking water every day. Any suggestions?

I have heard that cultured blue bottle flies are a favorite of jacksons. I would try and get some of those or a flying type feeder to break his slump. I know it works with panthers every time.

its completely normal they dont eat that much because they are irritated kind of like when you are when u get a sun burn and your skin is peeling?and they move around a lot to try and get the skin off

It is normal that when they're shedding they don't have as much of an appetite.
