Hi Everyone,
I am new to the site even though I've been reading other posts for weeks! I just got a female baby panther last Saturday from LLReptile from the Sacramento Reptile Show. I think she is 2 months old but I'm not sure since the people at the reptile show were too busy to tell me much about her other than that she should eat small crickets.
I think I messed up by putting her in a big cage too fast. She ate a few crickets since I got her, but not as much as I read she should be eating. Most days I'm lucky if she eats one, though she usually goes after medium/larger sized crickets. She doesn't hunt really unless I use the cricket tweezers to move one onto a screen near her or on the same branch as her. I tried cup feeding in a mug, but she's not going for it.
I have seen her drink every day and her poops are healthy so at least she is hydrated. I'm thinking of doing the milk jug idea to get her to eat, but I'm not sure. She is my first chameleon so I'm getting worried about everything haha. Any help would be great! Thanks!!!
