He's about 3months old. She's had him since Thursday evening. Unsure of how much he's eaten but it sounded like he was doing well the first day. And hasn't quite caught him drinking yet from what I understand.Sorry, I know you’ve probably explained this already, but how old is your Cham and how much of what is s/he eating ?
Thanks @CamoChameleonsHuman , I was at lunch with the fam! Camo covered it mostly. He ate 6 total feeders yesterday, and I gave him a cricket the afternoon I brought him home to just make him feel safer. Today he has only eaten 1 dubia, I'll update that if he has eaten while I've been away from home.Sorry, I know you’ve probably explained this already, but how old is your Cham and how much of what is s/he eating ?
Sometimes the dubias move to slow for our chams. I know a few have had good luck putting the dubia roach on their backs on a "plastic" spoon so that they wiggle their feet trying to get right-side up. Will attract your Cham to eat. My Veiled will go through phases where he will and will not eat dubias however. They might be nutritional but I think thats probably what makes them not taste as well too hahaThanks @CamoChameleonsHuman , I was at lunch with the fam! Camo covered it mostly.

Their stools are really tiny right now. Try looking on top of the leaves for little specks of black/brown/white dust lol. Before finding that red stool on Blue I noticed he had a bunch of good stools as well. From what I saw they poop quite frequently at this age.He has been actively exploring the enclosure today though, whereas yesterday he pretty much stayed on the screen of the enclosure. He does retreat from my auto mister, but I hand misted for a minute and he came out and I watched him clean his eyes. Still havent witnessed him drinking though, and no stool to be found yet.
He seems to actually prefer dubias. He has eaten more of them than the crickets. I have feeder tongs that I used to offer them and they wiggle their little legs so he seems to like that. He just hasn't seemed to notice the feeder cup,with or without crickets in thereSometimes the dubias move to slow for our chams.

Sometimes they just want to hunt tooHe seems to actually prefer dubias. He has eaten more of them than the crickets.

Looks like I have to piss him off and do a more thorough search for poopTheir stools are really tiny right now. Try looking on top of the leaves for little specks of black/brown/white dust lol.

He did hunt down a cricket that got loose, I got to watch the whole thing and I was such a proud mamaSometimes they just want to hunt too

Not that I know of, but I just got my guy a few days ago and have a few concerns about his health as it is, so seeing him drink would be nice!Is it abnormal to not catch your chameleon drinking?
I've never ever ever ever seen my Veiled drink which is why he freaks me out and gets hornworms into his diet. He's never shown any signs of dehydration though. From what I hear some chams can be shy when it comes to feeding or drinking or both.Is it abnormal to not catch your chameleon drinking?
