Baby chameleon not doing well

[Henry]

My 1month old chameleon is not doing good. I found him on the bottom of the cage this morning. Seems to have no energy and is skinny. He does not seem to want to eat either. Just wondering how to help the little guy feel better

top of the health forum. Be specific about the answers...brand names, etc.
