Need help with hunger striking veiled....

[Sghall]

We are first time chameleon owners and have a 6 mo. old veiled chameleon. He's awesome! Has been healthy, active, growing--all good. But we are really worried bc this past week he has suddenly stopped eating the live crickets we're feeding him--and we can't get him to eat anything else. We have noticed that he is drinking more than we usually see. Also, we recently moved him to a larger enclosure since he's gotten larger, so maybe that's a factor? Just not sure what to do--we just want him to be happy and start eating again! Thanks for any advice!

What's the basking temperature in the new cage?

Fill out the form, if all else fails maybe need to check for parasites.
If my Cham doesn't eat a day or two I usually don't sweat it, but if after those days he refuses a hornworm, then I get worried

What else are you offering to him for feeders? Often times they just get tired of the same old food and refuse it, especially if you are just feeding crickets.
