My Meller's cham is like munching on something but he is really not... What does this mean, it seems as if he was thirsty but he is not, cause they are well hydrated.
What could it be?

He even opens his mouth even wider than when he eats his crickets. Its like he is chewing on a PB&J sandwich.
 
I have a meller that chews on the wood stick in his cage..he normally does it because he's either hungry or thursty, when he does it we give him more water in his dripper and give him more crickets. Then he's all set! have you looked in his mouth to make sure he dosent have any bark stuck in there?! Just a suggestion!?
 
theres no bark in my cage, maybe he was chewing on the leafs(schefflera), and knowing him, he must have been hungry.

Pardon me if I seem dense, but what exactly do you mean "like munching on something but he is really not"? Do you mean he is opening and closing his mouth a lot? Does there seem to be excess saliva or mucus in his mouth?
