Shedding

[Hsandovaljr]

Is it normal when a chameleon sheds for them not to eat ?

I don’t think so. My Jackson is shedding and he’s eating. Actually he’s not eating as much as usual but he’s eating.

They may be too occupied with shedding and just don't feel like moving, if my skin started falling off u wouldn't want to do anything.

Sometimes. It’s an itchy process and I can imagine makes them uncomfortable. How many feedings has your chameleon refused?

His only ate 4 crickets and 1 hornworm. He has usually ate 10 crickets , 2 hornworms and 3 wax worms by now.

Just keep an eye on him. If his appetite doesn’t return to normal in a day or two, then I’d start to worry and be making a vet visit with fecal check for parasites.
