I agree, if you have a ficus you should put it in the shower, aim the shower head to it hits the wall and the back drops will gently shower the cham, and it will start drinking. MAKE SURE THE WATER IS NOT HOT but obviously not too cold. check on him every couple minutes to make sure hes ok, leave him in there for about 20 minutes

Fruit can help a lot with dehydration, try feeding him some hope he gets better

I have only tried fruit with my Chinese Water Dragons and Bearded Dragons, how do you giv chams fruit? in a feeder cup? or do you leave it on a vine or something?
he hated the shower lol he was hissing and gaping loads lol but he is a lot better well active again and seems to be ok i think i will try to shower him once a month just to make sure he is fully hydrated i tried feeding him fruit by hand i just moved the fruit round but he wasn't intrested really and i am going to try to spray his viv more often now to thanks people for the advice
