My New Baby Yemon, Wont Eat Help!. Please x

[EmmaVictoriaGreen]

I've had him for 2 full days now, and every day i offer him a cricket but he walks in the other direction. he was fairly fat when i got him and now im beginning to see his ribs. is there a chance he will eat something like wax worms instead or is it best to keep him eating crickets ( there small, one up from pin heads, that what the lady at the shop told me to get.) i know it might be down to stress as we had a 45 min car journey and the box was shaking abit, and the fact that he is in a new environment could stress him but i down want to come down and find a dead chameleon who went on hunger strike.
-how long can he stop eating before he dies (he's like 2 inches)?
-how can i make him eat/make his food look tasty and not so he runs away?
-is this normal?
-should i just completely ignore him for a few days?
-any other help/info?
Thank you i advance for any possible replies.

sounds like hes adjusting try free roaming the crickets or cup feeding he should be eating 12-15 a day at that size
what are your temps and humidity at?
do u have uv light on him?
what is your supplement schedule like and what do you gutload you crickets with?
what kind of cage do u have and are using any substrate

Are you hand feedings him? If u are try
Cup feeding , take a plastic cup cut it enough
That the crickets don't jump out. I don't expect
A chameleon that age to eat from ur hands
It is probely not used to u yet.

thank you for your answers and help but i rang the place where i got him and they gave me fruit fly and he hate them all up phew! turns out he was scared of the other ones ha ha (he's a wimp).
new problem he was on my dads had tonight and his back legs and tail lifted in to the air and he wouldn't use them so i put him back in to his cage and he wasent using them for about 20 secs, then he used them slightly stiffly for about 30 seconds, then he was back to normal!
is this normal!!?
if not whats wrong with him?, could it be constipation; if so what should i do?
he had about 30 of the little fruit flys could this have caused it?
thank you. x
