Chameleon not eating

my chameleon isn't eating. sometimes I would hand feed him if he hasn't eaten in a while. its been like a month and I count the mealworms to see how many are there and when some have been eaten but they haven't. I also alternate between crickets. I gave him some when I noticed he wasn't eating but I think I had to hand feed those to him too because I don't think he eating those. other than that, he's perfectly health with a good cage, he even knows how to drink out of the water dish, but I don't see him doing that anymore too so I have to spray. by the way, his name is Waldo:)
 
First the water bowl has to go. it can cause harmful bacteria to grow. now that we have that out of the way, mealworms should only be a treat. What kind of cham do you have and how old? How many times do you mist a day. if you could post a pic of your setup and your cham that would help.
