My chameleon is pacing and won’t eat normally.

Hi! I’m pretty new to this forum, but I have a juvenile female veiled chameleon. I’m not sure exactly how old she is, but I’ve had her for a few months now and she has recently this past week been pacing the bottom of her cage, kinda looking like she wants to get out, but when I open the cage, she doesn’t wanna go out. She also doesn’t eat the food I put in her bowl anymore, but she will hand feed. I’ll set food out and she won’t touch it, but I’ll hand feed her and suddenly she’s acts incredibly interested. I’m feeding mealworms, calcium worms, and crickets. I’m pretty familiar with reptiles, but she’s my first chameleon and I’m not sure what to do here.

Hello! All I can tell you is that she looks about 6-7 months old.

Does she have a laybin in the cage?

No, I haven't put one in yet. That could be it, but I just thought she wasn't that old yet.

Thanks!

She doesn't look like she's there yet but she may be heading that easy soon.
