Hasn't Pooped

[iliekcherrys]

Just as the title says I haven't seen any droppings in 2 days, when I first got him he would poop every day it seemed for about 5-6 days now he hasn't pooped in 2 days. His appetite remains and he doesn't seem to be dehydrated. Is this normal? Am I overreacting?

I’d personally quit feeding Mealworms it’s a poor feeder for chameleons just what I think....and Is the dehumidifier close by the enclosure?..probably not digesting its food just my first impression from your post...if your chameleon’s enclosure temperature is dropping dramatically might be the cause of not dropping feces. What were the colors of the feces of the white part when you picked it up? If it is orange it is definitely dehydrated...well anything but clean white in coloration. I’m just trying to get an idea of what is going on. Are you gut loading the feeders with high protein and vitamin foods? If not kale and calard greens are a few you can use

Have you tried horned worms

Hi, I gut loaded the crickets and other feed with collard greens and carrots, the silkworms have their own feed that they come with should I be using something else, and no, I haven't tried horned worms. His last urate wasn't completely white as it had a bit of orangish yellow so should I be giving him more longer and frequent misting sessions?

The dehumidifier is on the other side of my room but it gets the job done when it gets too humid.

Right now the humidity level is at 60%

Do you have a multivitamin to dust the feeders with twice per month? If not I would suggest adding one to your schedule.

You can increase one or two mistings during the day to around 4 minutes to help increase hydration. You can also try feeding hornworms. Just beware that hornworms grow extremely fast so only buy a couple to make sure your cham likes them. I bought a container of 15 once and it turns out my veiled doesnt like them so I was stuck trying to feed off these worms to my other critters before they got too big.
