Hi! I have a baby chameleon, about a month and a week old. I got him from a pet shop and he had an injury under he's right eye that passed right through me. A few days after he stopped eating and i took him to a vet. It seems he had parasites and an infection on that injury.
After taking care of those problems he took an entire week to start eating again, but only if i give him. and so it is until today. He only eats when he's in my hand. I leave beatles and worms and crickets inside he's enclusure but he doesn't eat them. I have even seen a cricket walk over he's head and he does nothing...
A couple of days ago i went on a weekend out and left food for him to eat, when i got back the food was still there and he was skin and bone...
My question is:
Is it because he got really used to eat from my hand, or does he have a health issue?
