Chameleon hasn't eaten all week

[busterboy]

Temperature and humidity have been the same all his life. He chose to eat for the first 3 months.... All of a sudden, refuses to eat the crickets or mealworms. I bought some hornworms that were 1$ a piece and fed him two of them and he ate both. But to get those, I traveled an hour. Nobody around my area has anything but mealworms or crickets.

I'm scared... He hasn't eaten in like 5 days. Yesterday he ate 1 cricket and that was all. Humidity, UVB, UVA, temps.... All are right.

He also seems to not want to be in his enclosure anymore either . He trys to climb my tongues everytime I try to hand feed him.

I don't know what to do and I don't want him To die

Sounds like he might be tired of his regular foods...

How old is your cham? and what kind of cham is he?

Having a variety of feeders is KEY. Try offering different feeders. Heres a few options:

Hornworms/moth
Silkworms/moth
Superworms/beetle
Dubia Roaches
Banana Roaches
Mealworms/beetle
Maggots/Blue Bottle Flies
Butterworms
Waxworms
Calcium Worms/Repti Worms/Phoenix Worms = Black Soldier Fly Larve
Praying Mantids
Katydids
Locust (You'd have to catch these yourself in the United States)


I suggest traveling that hour and getting some hornworms. Especially since he hasn't ate much. They'll keep him filled up till you get more feeders. Also make sure hornworms aren't eating off on tomato plants. They're highly toxic and must be gutloaded with a proper gutload.

You can get all of these feeders online, Here's a few sites that come to mind.
