Small Veiled

[ForrestJungle]

Ok so my male veiled who I thought was.7 months old is super tiny. Is there anythink I.can do to make him grow? He already eats 20+ crickets a day. Is there something I can hive home to help him?

Thats a lot of crickets for a 7 month old. how do you know his age? can you post a picture?

He is 4 inches not including his tail

My 6 1/2 month old Veiled is only 5 1/2 inches long (closer to 6 inches really), he only eats about 7-10 crickets daily, How big is the crickets your feeding him? if they are small then 20 sounds right and his size is about right for a 5 month old Veiled, But i have heard others say each Chameleon grows at his own pace. My guy's spurs on his heels are really big not sure if that makes a difference in age also.

I think he looks younger than 7 months as well. If he is eating 20+ crickets a day there really isn't anything you can do to make him grow.

Yes, you can have his stools checked to be sure that he does not have any internal parasites which steal the calories and nutrients from him.

He's not showing any adult colors. I think he may be younger than 7 months. My boy Ringo started showing colors at 5 months. Are you sure he's a he? My little girl is 8-9 months and is tiny and looks like that.

This is true. I am obviously not a senior member. so just ignore or delete what i said earlier

What size crickets are you feeding him? What do you gutload with? Better pictures would be helpful. All chameleons grow at different rates. He could also possibably have parasites. A check up and a fecal would be a good idea. I'm attaching my blog for new keepers below to help you keep that little man healthy and happy.

Being a senior member does not automatically make you qualified to make suggestions if you don't actually have to knowledge to do so. Senior member status is completely arbitrary and does not entitle you to respect. You have to earn that.
