How can I remedy Gular edema and A hunger strike for my Jackson's chameleon. He is 7 months, going onto 8, and I have fed him a variety of feeders like crickets, dubias, horn worms, wax worms, and super worms, but lately he hasn't been interested in anything. My last option is silk worms, but the online websites I have found are all out of stock. It's been about a week and a half since he has last eaten. Please help!
 
Can you post a photo of him please?
Can you tell us what your supplementing schedule is and what you feed the insects? Please be specific. I'm particularly interested in the vitamin D3 and the prEformed vitamin A.
 
You could try blue bottle flies, I hear those are good for breaking hunger strikes

I do calcium with d3 every two weeks by Reptical, and I alternate between Reptivate (has Vitamin A), and Herbtivite (No Vitamin A) once every 3 weeks. He recently had a problem with his eye so I upped his Vit-A intake and it went away, but he then he ended up having Gular edema. You might not be able to see it in the picture since he is puffing. Let me know if you would like a new picture.

As far as what I feed the insects...I feed the Dubai roaches dried mango, and other fruits, and as for the horn worms they just eat the chow that comes with them. He's not a fan of crickets, wax worms, and super/meal worms. When I do buy crickets I feed them arugula, fruit, and a flucker's cube for hydration.
