Feeding

Well my chameleon is pretty scheduled. He wakes at 8:00, will eat at 11:00 and sometimes at 3:00. At 4:00 he begins his journey to his tree, where he goes to bed at 8:00. He will only eat about 1 cricket every day though, rarely two. How do I get him more interested?
 
What size chameleon? What size crickets?
Even without knowing those answers I would say he has a poor appetite. Poor appetite can be due to a few different things. If he isn't warm enough, has an underlying illness or a heavy parasite load he could have poor appetite.

If it isn't a husbandry issue a vet visit and a fecal test might be the best idea. Short term you could try offering a variety of feeders, silkworms, hornworms, superworms, and dubia might work.
