Curious, what pet store sells them this young?
 
Thank you everyone for your input. I'm going to do some research and make sure i'm doing everything correctly before i get another one, when i do it's not going to be a baby.
 
I called the pet store where I bought her at, they apparently have no guarntee on their pets. Great, I cannot afford to pay for another chameleon at this very moment.

The cage will remain empty for thetime being. :(
 
Curious, what pet store sells them this young?

Having read on here and personal experience says that quite a few babies are sold way too young. I am looking after two tinies that my local shop took in for a customer who then said they were the wrong colour! I have had them for approx 6 weeks and they are very very delicate . Even the shop was struggling with them.

So sorry about your experience but as said before she was too young.
