Hi, so the cham has just been different..
He is eating and pooping, but just not as much. He should be due for a shed soon but hasnt yet. It will be a month on sunday.. He is in a rather small cage until his 2x4x4 comes in. hes in a 6 deep, 2 tall 1 wide cage.. this cage never actually affected him, he has been doing well in it, but he is just so dark when i get home idk why.. again he is eating and pooping and his urates are white so i know hes hydrated.. anything i can do to boost his energy? hes rather sluggish if you will. When i throw in crickets he doesnt go crazy like most chams he kind of justs pops one or two at a time and then i dont see him for the day and when i come home most crickets are gone. im pretty sure they arent escaping but idk he just seems weird.. any ideas? i know the cage is crap but im stealing this idea

There has been some debate on the all in one. I was using it daily and I've since cut back to once a week. I just picked up the Repashy plain cal with no d3.

You can also try gutloading with bugburger and/or dinofuel. I use all of the products listed. Check out Sandra's blog on gutloading. Great info.
 
My guys last shed took almost 5 1/2 weeks and he is only 5 months. I use the all in one and right he shed his cricket consumption doubled and he is full of energy. I know before my girlfriend started to use the all in one, one of her chameleons who was 2 months old was very sluggish and slow, but after the repashy he perked right up and had a huge growth spurt and colours are coming in beautifully. For my opinion ( and no i do not want to start a debate) is that every chameleon is different just like humans. Some take really well to some supplements and others not so much. So saying the repashy issue is black and white won't solve anything, which i know some members seem to take, not saying you are maxttu.

It sounds to me like your little guy is just going into a funk for the shed. If he doesn't shed soon and/or doesn't pick back up after the shed try taking him of the repashy and going back to a more "traditional" every 2 weeks d3 and multivitamin, while doing calcium every day.

Hope it works out :D
