Chameleon Info:
Your Chameleon - ambilobee panther chameleon, male, approx 8 weeks old, i've had for a month.
Handling - very little, although alot more now that i'm having to hand feed
Feeding - mainly 2 week old crickets, has eaten a small wax worm, pinheads, gutloading with flukers orange cubes, also feeding mixed greens.
Supplements - dusted crickets with repashys calcium plus everyday/ also usin t-rex bone aid liquid calcium mixed with his carnivore care powder i'm handfeeding him
Watering - i use zoo meds 'the little dripper', i mist the tank 4-5 times a day, morning half hour after lights on, lunchtime, dinner, later at night
Fecal Description - he was pooping completely fine, recently in the last week his poop has been the color of the carnivore care (yellowish)
History -he's approx 6-9 weeks old, he was completely fine the first 2 weeks i had him, active, pooped well, ate like a champ, then all a sudden he stopped eating, sleeping all day long, took him to the vet after 3 days of not eating, starting to sleep during day, she gave an iv shot, and she gave me oxbow carnivore care to hand feed, been handfeeding it for a week now, nothing has changed, still wont eat, sleeps all day long until i force him to wake up to feed him. took him to another vet and he didnt know what was wrong either. he said he might be depressed? but the vet said other than being skinny from not eating, and sleeping all day he seems healthy, color looks good, eyes are good, he has an ok grip for how little energy he has.
