Not eating?

[ajmoneyy]

I'm afraid my Panther chameleon is not eating. I put about 10-12 small-medium sized crickets in his cage every morning, usually he scarfs them right up. Lately ive been finding that by the end of the night, there are about 8 or so still in his cage. I have been removing the crickets that i could find after he is asleep (so they do not bite him) i dont know if they are just hiding crickets from previous days or what but it worries me. Any advice or suggestions? How can i make sure he is eating properly. Maybe he is sick of eating crickets? i just couldnt ever get him to eat silkworks or any other food. ANY and ALL help would be greatly appreciated! THANK YOU!

age?basking/cage/room temps?

Hey what are the temps in his cage?does he have a basking spot? if so what are the temps there? how old is he? normally when they reach around 10-11months they will slow down ALOT and can be very alarming but its natural...don't offer him crickets at all for maybe 3 or 4 days and by then he will be ravenous and probably beg for more
