New baby chameleon behaviour?

[Olivia Curtis]

Hi, I've just got my 4 month old veiled chameleon about 3 days ago, since than he had 5 cricket the 1st day then only 1-3 each day from then, he is hiding a lot also, should I be worried or is it completely normal?

This is normal behavior for a new cham in a new space. He'll probably do this to some degree for the first 2-3 weeks, and if the nervous/skitishness continues, then that might be a problem. Can you post pictures of your enclosure and the little guy?

Sorry the picture of the vivarium isn't quite up to date, he does have more hiding places I've added, he also has a uvb light and a heating light which you can't see in the image
