not eating
I see you are in Canada. I was told that if the temperature is not warm enough they will not eat. However, I am babysitting for 2 veiled chameleons. One is almost a year old and the other is maybe 6 months old. Neither are eating. The young one drinks. The older one is eating dirt. I am in NJ. I was hoping to get some input on not eating as well.
I have changed the bedding in their cages every week, and put the small one in a new screened cage instead of an aquarium which has no air flow.
I just added a hibiscus plant in the little cage and Jack pretty much climbed right in. I also added a fogger yesterday because I could not keep the humidity up. Jack is afraid of the fog. I have 2 or 3 weeks to go before my son comes back from Europe to save these guys. I've had them 4 weeks on Tuesday and I hope they live till he gets back. Temp should be around 80 degrees and Humidity between 50 and 70%. Best of luck!
OH I fed horn worms, silk worms. At first they loved them. Then a horn worm bit Richard the big one and now he wont go near them. Crickets are all Richard is eating. I bought Butter worms too. Twice the calcium. Mulberryfarms.com Nice people.

Why has nobody stated the obvious? When was the little guys last shed? He might be fasting because he knows he'll have an uncomfortable shed and then a growth spurt. He is well hydrated so give him a warn gentle mist often enough and don't worry unless it lasts a week........
