Hi,
My 6 month old chameleon is having trouble with his tongue. I always cup feed him and have been doing this even before this problem surfaced.
So the problem is when he extends his tongue it seems as it gets stuck mid-air and he has to retract it again. He tries over and over and it still gets stuck and can't reach the target and he stops using his tongue and eats without the tongue. This has been going on for a week.
Last month since it was really hot, all the pet stores just had adult crickets and that was the only thing I had to feed him with. They were a little bit to big for him and I always tried to remove their hind legs to not damage his mouth.
Can this have been the cause and will his tongue heal itself?
