How often

[WyteAnjal]

I am wondering how often is normal for a chameleon to deficate? Either my baby is hiding her fece's or she just isnt pooping. I look daily for any to clean it out but its been about two weeks now since I last saw any fece's or urinate. Is this normal? She eats about 2-3 large crickets per day (maybe I should be feeding her more?)

how old is she? if she is younger you should definately be feeding her more, and if she is more mature i would feed 4-6 crickets every other day, what kind of chameleon is she? my chameleons deficate almost daily maybe every other day, with white urate and dark brown poop but im by far from an expert maybe someone more expierienced will chime in

The store said she was about 1.5 - 2 years old but I think she might be a bit younger. I mist often have a drip system and a humidifier in the tank but not sure if she is drinking she looks kinda skinny at times and she is a Veiled

can you post pictures? most chams wont drink if you are watching, they will often wait until you leave and drink off the leaves etc. she shoulod be deficating more than she is... what if you have lots of leaves & vines in the enclosure she might be pooping on them and you just cant see b/c there are so many... try completely cleaning out her cage and starting fresh just to be sure that she is going to the bathroom.

my little panther poops daily or every other day, i usually mist a couple of times a day and have a dripper going on most of the day as well. She eats dubias and crickets daily but shes young so she needs the food to grow, you should probably feed a little more than 2 large crickets probably around 4-5 every other day
