I changed my chameleon to crickets like you guys suggested and he still has the habit of eating less than he should be. He is shedding now so i think it may be something to do with that. Also scince i changed him to crickets his stool has been fine untill today when it came out firm but lighter in colour. I have been working overtime to keep misting up so mabye its the better hydration. Do you guys think theres a problem with parasites here?
 
I have an old pic of the enclosure but hes asleep now so i cant disturb him. Ill send fecal pictures in the morning.

It depends, crickets are not my favorite feeder, as so much can go wrong with them, such as aspergillus, worms, poor gutloading, etc. You said you were in the UK, I believe, do you have access to locusts?

I only changed to crickets because he wouldnt take locusts anymore. Hes lost a small amount of weight but nothing drastic. He does always put off eating before and during sheds though so is that possibly why he isnt eating as much? Also if i were to describe his poop i would say its slightly moist firm and a olive brown or light caramel colour with shiny white urates. This is the first time that i have seen it like this though and it doesnt smell and it has no undigested insects in it. From what i can see from the fecal i preformed there isnt anything visible bht im still looking for a vet that will actually work with reptiles.
 
Depends on the vet and what you need, that is not including medication, etc. I guess you know I am from the US know, lol.
Well medication is different here so i can order most meds online apart from antibiotics and stuff thats injected. But i can buy fenbendazole and that kind of stuff online for pretty cheap.
