I made a "play area" for Merlin. It consisted of loose branches from outside in different heights , if you do this make sure you clean the branches. If you want to make a similar set up you could use hooks and hang some plants up like some pothos plants. As for the tree , I use a fake silk tree...
I would recommend making a schedule , as in same time every day feeding him. Try to hand feed him so feeders and if he doesn't take it , try holding a cup with a feeder and try to get him to take it from the cup. If he doesn't come around there is always tomorrow, patience is key. I've learned...
Yep thats a female , you should get on making a egg laying bin asap. If she becomes egg bound it can be fatal
I attached a thread about making bins , best of luck with your girl!

I can agree with the fact that they dont get to eat everyday in the wild, but he also said a couple of days. Now yes a healthy chameleon can survive a few days without food , and yes he might be on a hunger strike. But it is recommended to feed a wide assortment of foods, on a daily basis...
I would go and get one done, loss of appetite can be a sign of parasites.

Can you fill this out and can you post some pictures of him and his enclosure ?? A chameleon hardly ever goes to the bottom of the cage , so a heat strip wouldn't be needed . So some information about your enclosure can help determine the source of the problem

Some are shy eaters:rolleyes: Also some chams tend to eat less around the shed. Just make sure you are feeding right size on the hornworms, they grow fast! The horn wont bother you cham:)
I agree, particle wood will expand and contrast through temp changes and moisture and break really quickly . You can still seal it with multiple layers , but it wont be a forever long fix. You could use it as a "Base" and screw marine ply wood into it directly along with the sealants to help...

I would use a water based sealer, and let it dry for a couple of days, cover anything that will be exposed to water. The water base is safer than many other sealers. I left...
