Hello everyone, I am new to being a Chameleon parent. And I got my Juvenile Veiled Chameleon 9 days ago from a pet smart. I did a lot of research before purchasing my female chameleon, but there are so many contradicting opinions out there. The pet smart did not give me any information about the chameleon and so I had asked a lot of questions from what I had read online. And all of the things he told me were completely inaccurate after doing more research. I read that Juvenile Chameleons should be eating 6-10 crickets a day. And when I first got my chameleon she wasn't eating much only about 2 crickets a day, but hasn't eaten anything for the past three days and i'm very concerned. I was using a solid white cup because she is so small and the cage is so big, but now looking through the forms I created a longer egg carton piece so she can see the food better. she sleeps a lot and isn't very active so I'm wondering if that's a sign of anything or just a chameleon thing.I looked for signs of dehydration, but im not seeing anything but her eyes are looking a little sunken, but I spray her cage very frequently throughout the day. I called the pet smart to ask how to go about feeding her and helping her eat and they said meal worms. She hasn't touched them either. If you guys have any ideas on what I can do to try and get her to eat I would absolutely appreciate anything.
