New cham, no poop

[Candi]

HI everyone,
I am new to this site, and the cham world.
WE got a Veiled Chameleon, Blinky, on Friday, he has still not pooped. Is this normal, due to a new home, and stress from that? He has eaten about 6 crickets each day, and two mealworms yesterday.
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry if this question has been asked before.

Thank you,
Candi

I'm sure he's getting ready to go poop anytime now!! Sounds like he is settling in great. One thing I'd like to comment on is you said you fed him mealworms. They have hard Exoskeletons and can become impacted which will cause serious problems. But you said you only fed him a couple so he should be fine. But in the future instead of mealworms you can feed superworms. They look exactly the same except they get bigger and they are safe to feed as a treat every once in a while.

Ok, NO MORE mealworms! Crazy you'd think the people that sell you the mealworms for him, would know this. Thank you so much for your reply, I have done a ton of reading and re-reading. Never saw a poop question before we got him.

Also, never saw no mealworms, they were on the list of what to feed.

WE HAVE POOP! I was happy about this, just thought I would share, ha ha. Thank you for your time!

Its not that you can never feed them mealworms, just that they shouldn't make up the main part of their diet.

Thank you Carlton. So maybe once a week?
