Would force feeding a chameleon be a bad thing? Not by forcing the mouth open but wait till they get mad and open their mouth you could slip something in and let them do the rest..bad idea?
 
well it would only be a bad idea if the cham is very weak and wont chew, is it sick?

Well she just laid eggs 2 days ago she hasn't ate much of anything..she's drinking lots of water but not eating her worms..she watches it and it looks like she's interested but doesn't go for it
 
Very true. she should eat soon. and i need some help on one of my other posts. its about breeding check it out if you can help! :) :)
 
IMHO your chameleon is in trouble. Have you been letting her see you watching her while she is digging/laying her eggs?

I asked you to post your husbandry (questions are in the health section under "how to ask for help")...but you didn't answer.

No I let her do it all her self in a room iv seen her dig yes but I didn't watch her lay them..I can't find that question thing Im a noob at this site
 
If a female sees you watching her when she is digging the hole and sometimes when laying the eggs, she will abandon the hole and not lay the eggs then. It can lead to eggbinding.

Here it is...
