Help ! Veiled chameleon not eating !

[chamowner101]

My (almost) 5 month old veiled chameleon has not been eating by himself for a week. He is active as usual and I force feed him 3 mealworms everyday because it is difficult to force feed him crickets. I use exo terra 10.0 and keep it on for 12-14 hours a day. He used to hiss when he is stressed but now he is not.
What is wrong with him ?

Please fill out the ask for help form in the health clinic so we can try and figure out what is going on. In the mean time, I would not force feed him.

 

[Vito the Veiled]

Agreed. Don't force feed unless fully necessary. It can be very stressful for your little guy.
