So I am new to Chameleons but have worked with other Lizards but nothing too similar (bearded dragon, Blue Iguana).
I have recently purchased a male Ambanja Panther(a little under two months ago). The company did not give me an age when I bought him but some breeders have told me he’s between 7 months to a year old.
I have been getting mixed opinions from stores and online research about supplement schedules an I believe I have messed up. (He is in a screen cage indoors with lights an I have been giving calcium without D3 tiny bit everyday to start then I read that’s better only if there outdoors with intense UV so I switch to with D3 an been giving him a very small amount with multi each day)
He grew a lot an seemed happy growing from 10inches to almost 16 since I got him so I didn’t think there was an issue.
Recently he isn’t eating as much because of this instead he has had chunks of small chips an dirt he’s found at the bottom of a plant that he likes in my house. He has been going to the bathroom still regularly even today! His name is Rango an he has a check up in a couple of weeks.
So long story short should I be worried he Barley is eating insects for the last 4-5 days, but keeps looking for dirt(idk if he has an upset stomach an is eating dirt like dogs sometimes eat grass). An if not if I just keep him off calcium an multi for a couple days will he feel better/appetite come back?
Will he be fine if I cut his calcium an go back to mostly without D3 an only give him D3 an multi a day or two a week??
