does he have a main basking spot? try attaching the cup underneath his favorite spot. leave him be though, he may be food shy around people. my multituberculata will never cup/hand feed unless he is starving.

also, how many crickets do you put in at a time? if theres too many for his liking, the site of it might be overwhelming, leaving him to ignore the food

Most babies like their food free range and it can be pretty hard to cup feed until they are alittle older. The cage is a bit big for a 2 months old. Do you have anything smaller? Maybe a travel cage you can put him in? I'm attaching my blog for new keepers below. Hopefully you will find it helpful with your little one. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blo...-keepers-young-veiled-panther-chameleons.html

my guy was scared at first of the cup but after a bit he got use to it i started my cup a little bit lower in the cage so he could see them in it then over time just made it higher and i found he would only go to it if i used a clear cup and i put black plastic screen at the bottom of the cup now he loves it
