on sat morning, i found my chameleon being attacked by one of the crickets, i had to flick off the cricket but it has left a wound, subsequently since sat, he has grown weaker and was closing his eyes all the time and at the bottom of the pot which is not his usual behaviour. i have brought him to the vet, and he has given me calcium supplements, protein powder and vitamins, he is responding well to the whole plant he is on being watered but he has yet to eat. i am looking for alternatives to get food into his system, either liquid or otherwise
