Winter hunger strike goin on?

[bucky]

Im wondering if anyone's cham is going on a hunger strike for winter yet? Louie seems to not be eating crickets, but hes had some horn worms over a 2 week stretch, and thats it. Im just curious if anyone elses cham has stopped eating any food.

Yeah i can say the same. My guy normally eats 4 dubias yesterday he only wanted 2 and the same with crickets he only ate half.. I think maybe its just the colder time of year and they are on a different schedule

That's what I was thinking too. My veiled male hasn't been interested in anything - just about every 3 days he'll eat 5-6 crickets. Of course my ladies eat everything all the time!

yep

Our big male panther is having his winter strike now.... he eats like 2 every 2 days...

-My Female Veiled is an Eating machine.....
-Flap neck is on a diet i think.... she only eats when she feels like it
-the Baby Panther is an eating machine too
-Mellers baby is just picky i think... could be the cold..... see what happens
in the spring
- New female Blue bar is a shy eater, never see her do it, just hear it from the
other Room (kind of a clanking noise as the Crickets get slammed in
tot he side of the cage)
- Pygmy is a Chaser! its funny to watch her hunt!

Yup, mine hasnt been eating much lately either

 

[bucky]

You think its ok to just stop feeding him for the time?

 

[dodolah]

2 to 3 days of not feeding will be okay (I am assuming your chameleon is an adult male veiled or adult male panther).
My veiled has also slow down his eating habit.
I believe it's due to the drop in temperature.

 

[bucky]

Alright, how much should I feed him though when I do? And yes hes a male panther.

 

[dodolah]

How many you usually fed him be4 the hunger strike?

 

[veiledchamguy]

Hey Dodolah just realized you got moderator status good job

 

[bucky]

9-12 crickets every other day.
