Gettin' worried

[boosh96]

I fed Paul two days ago, and he completely pigged out. Since then, he's been pretty lazy. Should I be worried?

 

[Thompson]

How old is he and how much a day do you feed him? Also what do you usually feed him?

 

[boosh96]

I'm honestly not sure how old he is, but I have been feeding him 6 or 7 fruit flies a day. And, at his size, they're just the right size for him. I've been keeping the conditions right the whole time I've had him.

 

[Thompson]

Sounds like you have a baby chameleon. Try small roaches, crickets, and silkworms and maybe he'll eat those. Variety is good.

You have no idea how old he is? Post a pic if you could. 6-7 fruit flies for a young chameleon is not enough. Have you not tried crickets?

Is he a pygmy?

I think a picture would be extremely helpful.

ah, I think he does have a pygmy! So maybe that amount of feeders is good then?

 

[boosh96]

You're right-I do have a pygmy chameleon. Plus, he's gotten better-maybe he was just lazy because he was full, just like we tend to be.
