Need help asap Chameleon not eating

[DeathnoteTrash]

I have a 11 month female veiled chameleon. She has not been eating this last week the only thing she has eaten is one worm. I provided her a place to lay eggs if she needed to but she has not acknowledged it (i showed it to her and everything :| ) I really dont know why shes not eating and i really dont want her to die

Do you have any pictures? Has she been displaying receptive colors? Is she carrying around extra weight? Is she due for a shed? A week isn't too long to go with out eating for an 11 month old.

Offer more variety! Does she have a lay bin? She might be ready to lay eggs. During that time they don't eat much!

Ill try to get pictures tomorrow, Her color seems to be normal and shes actually starting to look skinnier. I dont think shes shedding because usually before she sheds she turns a darker green and for the past few days her green was her normal light green.

Yes. I feed her Meal worms, Gut loaded crickets, and Dubias.

Then it is very likely she is bored with what you are offering. Especially if she never turned the blue and orangey spots. Though if you feed her every day I would definitely reduce to every other day. You should look into getting some soft bodied feeders. Maybe get some enrichment feeders like some flies.

She is 11months so it may just be eggs coming...
I wouldn't know I only know what I've read.

Ditch the mealworms, they are not nutritious and have hard shells that could cause constipation.
Get super worms instead, softer shells and more nutritious value.
Try offering something like waxworms as a treat, chicks love waxworms!... Or wait... Cham's love waxworms... Chicks love jewelry... Hmm so if my cham has gotten a ring, what did my wife just get!?

Back to the important stuff...
Phoenix worms may also be appreciated and they turn into BSF (black soldier fly) as a bonus, which chameleons love to hunt.
Don't feed phoenix worms anything moist since they will become a mess and can crawl on everything(!) with a bit of moisture..
Dubias are a good staple but my chams don't really like em that much... And I think they get bored of them fast.

If you can get your hands on silkworms this will be something they often love and it's a very nutritious feeder as well!

Hope this helps you in any way!

Well there are a number of reasons a female veiled would stop eating. She could be in shed. She could be ready to lay a clutch. Or she could be having digestive problems. Either way try ditching meal worms as their shell may be causing digestive problems and try silk worms or horn worms. They are a soft treat that my veiled loves and usually work.
