I recently brought home my new panther chameleon, he’s a juvenile and has been quite stressed with the move although that was to be expected
when I first got him home I managed to feed him a couple wax worms as a treat while handling him- I do this with all my new pets to make sure they have a good first impression of me lol
Since then (3 days) he hasn’t eaten a thing, he did poo once and it looked perfectly normal to me although I found it quite late after he had done it so it was already damp etc, I’m getting a little worried as he looks pretty skinny & he won’t accept any of the variety I’ve tried (Dubia’s, crickets, wax worms, locusts)
Any tips / advice would really be appreciated- I’ve been misting 3 times a day and the basking temp is at around 30c ambient 22-24 depending on time of day, he’s been basking most of the day but becomes really active around the evening but still not hunting or wanting food
