Cage Info:
Current Problem – My new chameleon hasn’t pooped yet! I have only seen him drink a few times and am waiting to see his poop to check his hydration level but he hasn’t pooped yet. He is active and eats very well and doesn’t seem to be showing signs of impaction. Is there anything I can do to help encourage defecation?
