What kind of cage do you have? Screen cages are really bad at keeping humidity up so I've wrapped three sides of my enclousure with vinyl table cloth. That helps maintain the humidity after mistings. I used to have a humidifier on top of the cage and it worked great. They just tend to break...

Does he get any calcium with D3 or any multivitamin?

He needs lots of vertical space to climb and in my opinion 24'' is not enough.

Could you try to fill out the form in more detail? E.g. the lights you are using, cage dimensions, misting times, what do you gutload with, what's the temperature gradient in the cage (highest and lowest temps), what kind of thermometer/hygrometer are you using. Also a picture of the setup would...

Meal worms are not a good food for chameleons, especially not when fed with every meal. They have almost no nutritional value and can cause impaction.

Let him settle in. They can go weeks without eating, so I wouldn't get worried yet. If you want you can fill out the help form in my signature so we can check that your husbandry is ok.

This is horrible. Some people just are ignorant and don't appreciate these beautiful animals. Or any animals in general. I'm disgusted. I hope this little guy doesn't suffer too much and it's very brave that you tried to save him.

I suggest you take him to the vet. Also if you could fill out this help form? https://www.chameleonforums.com/threads/how-to-ask-for-help.66/

What a handsome boy! <3

Otherwise he's been his normal self. I really hope he starts eating soon!

Hi! I haven't posted anything here in a while since things have been pretty hectic but I'm getting worried about my chams health. Chameleon Info: Your Chameleon - Male veiled, ~1.5 years old, has been with us for a year now. Handling - Only when absolutely necessary. Feeding - 4-6 crickets...

Try feeding him every other day. Maybe he'll get more interested that way.

Paper towels are the safest option since chams tend to eat substrate accidentally. If you want a more aesthetically pleasing finish, I suggest you go bioctive.

From what I've heard Zoo Med and Arcadia bulbs last almost twice as long as Exo-Terra ones.

If your chameleon is an adult, they can go without food for a few days until you find more crickets. Mealworms are bad and can cause problems. If you have absolutely nothing else you can feed a freshly molted mealworm so its skin is white and not hard.

Terribly sorry for your loss. Lots of love and strength from my family.

Dragon strand also makes great cages if you live in the US. I would've bought one if the shipping cost to Finland wasn't so high.

Yea as @Thehippie said, you should get a linear T5 bulb. Compact ones don't provide enough UVB.

Could you post a picture of his eyes and also fill out the help form @Nemesis posted. To me it sounds like you don't mist your cham enough so he can't clean his eyes properly.
