Jacksons chameleon not eating

[ChamoNate]

I have a tub set at the bottom of my chameleons cage and he will not eat out of it....i cant let the crickets run loose though because they escape the cage...any suggestions?

wc won´t take food out of Bowls. and they do get tired of the smae food really Quick. you need to rotate feeders

If you are going to use a cup feeder put it up higher in the cage near the mid or top branches. A feeder with a screen back for the bugs to crawl on is more effective than a cup feeder.

Well i cant exactly rotate feeders right now, crickets are the only thing i have, im waiting on dubias, ive tried the higher up feeder on the side, he didnt pay that any attention whatsoever

Check that your temperatures and humidity in the right range. If that's all good try black soldier flies and superworms many Jackson's are crazy for them.

Temperature and humidity is good, tempo in the basking is about 80 to 82 and then temp below is 70, humidity i have fluctuating at 77 with misting every 3 hrs, i have had this prepared for a while, he just came in yesterday morning, he ate 3 crickets and has eaten nothing else all day today

He's only about 6 months old

He's just arrived in the last day or two. I'm not surprised he isn't eating much. It can take a few days to settle in.

Good... I'm gonna give it a few more days and see how he does, thank you
