I’m almost always in my room with my chameleon, so I’ve always seen him drink. This past week, I haven’t seen him drink any water. He was refusing any bug other than hornworms for a few days so I gave him 1 hornworm for like 3 or 4 days until he started eating crickets and roaches again. That’s when I noticed he stopped drinking water and thought he was getting too much hydration from the hornworms because his urates were runny, so i went down to a small hornworm every other day, and noticed yellowy orange urates. I heavily misted his cage extra and sprayed extra water on the plants he likes to eat. He got a lot of water from that and had runny urates again yesterday. This morning, they’re yellowy orange again. I feed him more hornworms than average because he really likes them and I want to make sure he’s getting enough hydration, but it’s still not enough to fully hydrate him. I don’t understand why he’s going back and forth between over hydrated and dehydrated. I have a dripper going all day but he usually drinks when I mist, but he hasn’t been lately. Any tips?
