If he’s eating and drinking on his own, I don’t understand why he would need any supplemental food. Personally, I wouldn’t want to stress him any more than absolutely necessary.
I agree that your guy is needing some serious upgrading. That is probably also why he’s fallen. We would love to help you and your fella make the needed improvements so that you share many healthy and happy years together. :)

I think I recall that you said that you’re in Florida. For central Florida, a fantastic vet, Dr Bogoslavsky, just retired a couple of weeks ago and it is truly a huge loss for the chameleon community here (at least imo). I went to...
