Does she look healthy including poop image

You have done well and are working with the correct information. Things have changed a lot since you had one. Now it just comes down to getting used to her behaviors. She looks good just got to get her food intake up more. Cage looks good and you have put an incredible amount of time and effort into it. You are doing well just normal growing pains of having a new baby.

In all honesty I think when I first had my daughter and took her home I was less stressed than the first year I had Beman. So I am right there with your wife but maybe that is a female thing and we know more of what to expect with a newborn. I think it is just a lot all at once but you are far ahead of the curve just with the proper research and husbandry you are already providing. Now it will just take some time to settle in. ;)
 
Thank you, I'm hoping your right, but I did take your advice and placed a pot in her enclosure, with 35 crickets in, there's now 5 left in the pot..... But she hasn't eaten any, they have escaped so now I have 30 crickets in her enclosure, but I'm just going to leave them in there, I cannot go through trying to catch 30 crickets from her enclosure, it just stresses her out even more me keep opening and putting my hands in there, temps are at 26 now for basking and the crickets have now been in for 2 hours
 
I'll give it a go, I tried the one I 3d printed and she just wasn't interested, at this point I'll try anything, I'm really concerned about her, I have her booked in at the vets and I have taken a poop sample in, they say the poop sample looks really good but will check it for parasites, but they don't seem overly concerned like I am, I am probably over thinking it all but I just want her to eat, super stressed out today too, ordered a brand new sofa 3 weeks ago, had delivery confirmation sent through yesterday for delivery today,so gave our old corner sofa to our daughter for her apartment, to then get a message today saying they can't deliver the sofas, I called them up as soon as the delivery company opened and their exact words were "we can't deliver your sofas because we have no idea where they are" how the f#@# can you lose sofas!!!!!!!!!!
 
Welp sounds like you have my luck with things.. lol Mix in the new feeders with the crickets. Hopefully she will start targeting them.
 
Ahhh honestly just so frustrated at the moment, 3 years ago we got new sofas and we picked dark grey, when they turned up they had sent green ones, we refused delivery obviously and had to go to DFS ( a sofa and bed chain shop here in the UK) and basically ask what they had in stock that I could take away that day, they sorted us right out with a corner sofa, might be doing the same tomorrow at this rate, but yes thank you, I'll mix silkworms, dubias and crickets in together in the morning, I'm now concerned because I have about 6 crickets in her enclosure that I couldn't catch and worried they bite her during the night, it's never ending isn't it lol

Put a half of potato in the bottom of the cage. Hopefully the crickets will go to it instead. Granted your clean up crew will also go after it lol
 
Great idea, yeah the cleanup crew are relentless to be fair, I chucked a couple of thousand springtails in and about 20 dwarf white and 20 tropical grey isopods in, they are thriving in there and not a single bit of mold (except 1 mushroom on the bottom of a cork branch) but I did extensive research and it's harmless to the chameleon and actually a sign of health in the eco system
 
Sorry for the lack of updates guys, been hectic trying to sort out sofa situation but that's irrelevant, right I received my baby dubias and silkworms and she is finally eating, yesterday and today she ate about 20 dubias yesterday, and I put her food in her enclosure at 8am this morning, it's now 9.11 and she's still going strong, I find it funny though because she's very picky, she's not touching the crickets at all, she's very selective about the silkworms and she doesn't seem to care what the dubias look like, she just scoffs them, I'll keep you updated over the next few days but so far so good, thank you so much for your suggestions and help @Beman I was very concerned, UPDATE on sofa situation, I had to go elsewhere and order one, they lost the sofa and armchair, they then found the backs for the sofa but couldn't find the seats, and they then proceeded to say "we will deliver the backs to the sofa on the 19th December" I replied "what on earth am I supposed to do with a sofa back with no seats" her reply was " you could lay the backs down and sit on them while we find the rest" honestly I didn't know what to say to that
 
This could have also been the reason for lack of eating I think, came home after going shopping and she was climbing on top of the mesh top so I quickly switched all lights off because I get scared she will get too close to the uvb by climbing on top
