I'm sorry to hear about your little girl. She is beautiful but from the picture looks like she still could be a bit dehydrated. How long do you mist her for and how many times a day? Does she have a dripper? Buy her some small hornworms. They will help to hydrate her too.

she had a fogger above her leaf follagethat goes off at 7,10 a.m 1,4,7p.m for 15 mins a time and I hand mist 3/4 times aday for about a min. Last week when she was really poorly I was dropping water drops onto her nose, and also holding leaves with dew drops under her to drink from.
she's on lactolose 0.05 ml every other day and I too it up to 0.1 with water so I know she's getting extra.
she hasn't been eating for weeks and is very petite for 10 months, I was offering locust, wax worms silk worms but nothig cracked it. After joining site at the week end iv had some great help, and have offered small crickets in a 4L beaker, however she won't fire into beaker but she will eat loose crickets ( I'm making a feeder cup at the weekend) i know she has eaten couple crickets yest and today, I'm hoping we're on our way up now

If just looked up horn worms, and are they very similar to silk worms?? I tried these at beginning of week and ended up force feeding them to get some nutrients into her. I'm happy to order some more if these will help, I just don't like force feeding specially now she's fed a small amount by her self these last 2 days

I recommend misting for longer periods of time and setting up a dripper. When you mist it can take them a long time to get in the mood to drink and then a longer time to drink. My guys sit under the dripper and drink long after the misting. I really don't recommend a fogged. It would only help with the humidity. This is how I recommend keeping veileds and panthers. https://www.chameleonforums.com/blo...-with-young-veiled-or-panther-chameleons.325/

I have cut down with fogger from every 2 hours to 3 hours now, tbh I use it for humidity as if it's not used humitity drops alot.
ok well I'm making a feeder at the weekend so I can also make a dripper , how would u suggest I make one and would i need to make a hole in the top meche or how can i do it.
would u recommendputtin dripper next to feeder or oppersite sides?
thank u so much for ur opinions and advice.

In my blog above it tells how you can make a dripper or just buy the little dripper. I would hang the dripper and feeder cup on opposite sides so your feeders want get wet. http://www.amazon.com/Zoo-Med-Labs-Drip-System/dp/B0002AQE6C

yes she laid her 1st batch of 12 eggs at 4 months and hasn't laid since, she was at vet on Monday and couldn't feel anything in her tummy ( check up from prolapse the previous week).
I think I could fit a small laying bin in there at back but wouldn't be a huge one.
we had big issues with her eating since November time, she started eating again small amounts on Wednesday
