Getting your Cham to use the bathroom

[Camoflauge]

What are methods that will help a backed up chameleon use the bathroom?
Thanks

From other post I have read on here try extra mistings or warm showers. Also try feeding hornworms. They are high in moisture.

Good luck

Some nice natural UV and warmth from the sun would gets results from my female Veiled!

Thank you I really hope this will work. Will soaking him in warm water help?

I'm wondering about this too. Some of my guys don't seem to poop very often. Is there an oil people put on feeders to help them along?

I think you can use Cod liver oil, I don't know if you can put them on the bugs though. You might want to take them to the vet if they don't poop for while, it could be an impaction.

hmmm, my Alfie was treated for mild mouth rot 2 weeks ago & has only been eating for those 2 weeks (first force-feeding, now eating on his own) & hasn't pooped yet. Maybe I should take him back to the vet for a check-up & mention it to her

Misting them directly with warm water usually does the trick! Also are you positive there is not poop "hiding" in the cage???
