Hello,
how long do you own him already?
If you just got him it´s not unusual for him to not eat for 2-3 days.
Feeders shall not be bigger than the distance between the eyes´of the chameleon.
Regards
Robin

ive had him for almost 2 weeks? or something like that
and he was eating at first but now he just doesnt want to
but he's been wandering around his cage more frequently lately
i think he's almost 4months old now

This is not uncommon he is probably just stressed. You may want to have a fecal float done if he still doesn't eat in a few days. You may try keeping him in a smaller screen cage until he grows up a big too so he can find prey easier
