Recently, I went on holiday and left several locusts in my veiled chameleon's cage to provide him with food and asked my nan to clean and spray the cage for the week that I was gone. When I came back he refused to eat any locusts however, he is still drinking and eating the lettuce and apple slices I leave in his cage. It's been 6 days since he last ate a locust and I don't know what to do as he looks healthy but, I'm worried if I leave him any longer he'll get MBD or something like that.

Chameleons can be picky eaters and it's important to offer them a larger variety of feeders.
If you have been only feeding him locust try something different, there are crickets, dubia roaches, superworms, waxworms, silkworms, phoenixworms and more.... Variety is the spice of life.

EBay is a great place to find a large variety of feeders for good prices! It gives you far more options than whatever you happen to be able to get locally.

Can you catch any dragonfly’s or moths? They tend to bring out their inner predator, they can’t resist! If not get some large BSFL larva and put them in your viv to hatch.
