My baby chameleon is doing really well I think
She's absolutely adorable! She hissed at me the first time today lol.
I held her for a little bit because I want to make sure she gets used to being handled, I made sure to keep her heat lamp near us though so she warm.
She doesn't eat too much but she does eat, how much should she eat a day? She ate like 3 meal worms yesterday, and I gave her two crickets but she doesn't seem too interested in them their still hopping around her cage. Is there a better way to feed her? She does drink a lot of water! also is it normal that she likes to be near the bottom of her cage? She's either a bright green or a dark green depending on which plant she' s on but she's always near the heat lamp so I think it's okay..

What kind is she? Do you know her age?

 

[ciara96]

She's a veiled and she's about 2 or 3 months old

It takes a new cham about a week to acclimate to their new home, so don't worry too much if she doesn't eat a lot. It is good that she is drinking.

How big is your cage? If it is really big then you might want to keep the crickets in a feeder cup so she has an easier time finding them. A really big cage with small crickets doesn't work too well because they have plenty of space to hide.

I free range my crickets too but try to remove most of them before she goes to sleep (they can potentially bite).

At that age she needs to eat as much as she wants. Cup feeding or hand feeding is a good idea if you have time to do it. Also hand feeding will get her used to you.

Her cage is really big! We modified it so its cut in half because it was an all mesh cage so we bought some screen and stuck it at the half way point so shes ontop of that its orginally 6ft tall and 3ft x 3ft so now she has just a 3x3x3, she really doesn't seem interested in crickets, she just likes eating the worms, I am trying to manual feed her like have her climb on my arm and hold the food for her but she just doesn't want it.. She is getting to know me pretty well she'll only let me get her out of her cage but if I hold her out to someone else she'll climb on them I just have to get her out.
