Midget cham

[Rune]

Can someone please show me what my cham should look like at 3-4 months old? I think he is a extreme midget... Im kinda worried.

Post a pic? All chams are different and grow at different rates. How much are you feeding him a day? IMO how much time he gets outdoors vs indoors makes a big difference as well.

What kind of cham, and can yo post a pic?

Veiled male.

Can't really see him all that well but he does seem tiny. Looks like he may be around 2 months old. Maybe you have his age off a little? I would ask the breeder for a DOH.

I got him two months ago though. DX He hasnt grown at all. I think he was a month old when we get him. DX I hope he is alright.
I can take another picture. Brb.

How much are you feeding him a day? What is his basking temp like?

He will only eat about 5 or so. He recently started eating.
Another quick question, How do you get the crickets out of the keeper? I cant get them out,they run. DX
His temp is about 82.

Check the site sponsors for crickets, one of them will have pinhead crickets or small. Fluckers.com is good as well. My little panther is SLIGHTLY bigger than your lil dude and he eats like 5 a day as well. I just figure he will eat as much as he likes to, or wants to. Cant force him to eat so ya. Can we see another picture?

For babies they only really need a 40W household bulb. Babies dont need the heat like older chams. I think one spot in the cage "basking" is good at 80degrees and the rest of the cage is like 75 or so. It will change with age though

He should be eating more around 15-20 crickets a day. How big are your crickets? Are you just seeing him eat 5 crickets or know for a fact he's only eating 5? My little monster is just turning 5 months old and eats about 15-20 crickets daily, occasionally gets a few meal worms as a treat every now and again

Oh and do you have an egg carton in your keeper, usually they'll hide in there and you can just shake them into your cup. You can also put a toilet paper roll in there which makes everything much easier.

I just put in more crickets, he ate faster then I have ever seen him. I think im going to order some pinheads from lllreptile tonight, hopefully the little guy will grow.

it would be best if you could keep track of what he is eating. 15-20 crickets is about right for a chameleon of that age.

is he actively searching food and drinking?

Yeah, I have put in 11 today.
He hasnt been searching for food much, but he is starting to. He does drink some, but is scared by water.
