New Chameleons won't eat!

Hey everybody,

I am new to owning chameleons and I got myself 3 Jacksons. 1 male and 2 females. They are all in their own reptibreeze and its heavily decorated with plants and vines. They just don't seem interested in eating. Eventually I am wanting to breed them but at the moment my concern is getting them eating and healthy. The male will eat 1 or 2 here or there but the 2 females will not at all. Maybe the crickets are too large but I spray 3 times a day and they drink alot and enjoy the water. I got them from Underground reptiles and have only had them for a few days. Maybe my other reptiles are stressing them out? Their cages are covered on three sides so they cannot see each other but can see my beardies and monitors. I have uvb on them and a 40 watt heat bulb just to add some warmth. Any suggestions or advice would be awesome! Thanks everyone and I am so excited to come into the world of chameleons!

I would say give them a chance to settle into their new surroundings. Three days is not very long. Do you just let the crickets run free in the cage? If so they might be finding them in the cage when you are not looking.

But you should fill out the questionnaire in the how to ask for help and post a photo of the set up.
