Did you just receive him today or what? What are you feeding him currently?

For food, start with crickets, how many each day would depend on how old he is, same with supplementation.

IF you want him to gain weight fast, try Waxworms. You need to supplement them as they're difficult to gutload (They eat bea pollen or something?). Don't give them too much as Waxworms seem to be quite addictive for Chameleons, try adding one to his daily meal. I think Butterworms are also quite good for gaining weight, healthier too, so you could try them.

Well if he just got him in today, he probably just hasn't eaten yet. I would wait and see what he says first.

Oh I forgot to mention, yeah if you just got the Chameleon he'll be acclimating. Let him settle and then try a normal meal, if he stays skinny, resort to what I said last post. Butterworms are good anyway, but Waxworms are very much a food for gaining weight or as a treat.
