I was just cleaning out Kush's cage and saw that he had just pooped. When I picked it up I noticed it was nearly and entire, undigested cricket, minus legs! 
What does this mean?
Your Chameleon - Male Veiled, 4 weeks old, had him for one week
Handling - Hardly at all, though he has crawled onto my hand while I was trying to feed him a couple of times.
Feeding - He is eating 1/8 to 1/4 crickets. He eats one or two a day. I gutload with cricket food from petstore, plus carrots, orange slices, strawberry, etc.
Supplements - Dusting daily with ExoTerra Calcium without d3, every 2 weeks dusting with ReptiCalcium with d3(gave him his first dose last night). I have both Herptivite multivitamin and Reptivite without d3. I accidentally got the reptivite thinking it was calcium. Haven't given him multivitamins yet, was going to do that next Monday.
Watering - Mist with Motomisterthroughout day. I spray for a couple of minutes each time and wait until it dries to spray again. I also have the big dripper that I use for a constant drip for him to drink. I see him drink quite often.
Fecal Description - They have been normal looking, except when I noticed today that it looked undigested. Urates have been white, though with this poop I am worried about the urate was slightly yellow.
History - Any previous information about your cham that might be useful to others when trying to help you.
Cage Info:
Cage Type - Describe your cage (Glass, Screen, Combo?) What are the dimensions? Reptibreeze 16x16x20. Screen.
Lighting - What brand, model, and types of lighting are you using? What is your daily lighting schedule? Regular house bulb 40w for basking. ExoTerra ReptiGlo 5.0 compact bulb, 26 watt. Both in a dome fixture. I got him a new bulb yesterday. The breeder gave me the other bulb, and I thought that it might be old, so I got a new one.
Temperature - Basking spot is 87F. bottom of cage is at lowest 70F. Measure with digital thermometer.
Humidity - Usually stays around 70%. Misting and the plants keep it up. I use a hygrometer.
Plants - Are you using live plants? If so, what kind? I have 2 small umbrella plants.
Placement - Where is your cage located? Is it near any fans, air vents, or high traffic areas? At what height is the top of the cage relative to your room floor? In living room on top of table. Not high traffic. We never have company.
Location - Where are you geographically located? Eastern Kentucky
Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about. His poop this morning didn't look like he digested the cricket. The urates were slightly yellow.
