How old is he and can you fill out the how to ask for help form so we can tell if your husbandry is wrong or if the chameleon is just sick.

Whats your schedule for the dusting? He might just be being a hardhead and refusing to eat. Have you tried to feed him anything other then what you already named? My Jackson refused to eat for about a week before.

what specifically are you using for a uvb bulb? What brand? wattage??

 

[Bubby]

its a 5.0. And no but usually he will eat anything i put infront of him

How many waxworms did you feed him?

Usually if you give them too much, they'll go on a "food strike" and will ONLY eat waxworms. Samething with mealworms.

If thats the case, just let your guy starve and eventually he'll eat. just offer crickets or try other feeder options such as dubia roaches, horn worms and silk worms.

I noticed you dust with D3 you should every feeding WITHOUT D3 you should only give D3 twice a month and vitamins twice a month as well.

 

[Bubby]

i dont dust them with D3. i dust them with plain calcium

 

[Bubby]

im just worried cause he would eat a lot when I got him but now he is just being stubbern!

Could he be coming up for a shed? I have heard that sometimes that decreases their appetite.

 

[chnk]

mine refuses to eat during a shed, then the next day skin everywhere bam 30 crickets lol
