Keep trying. I got my guy a little less than a week ago. He wouldn't eat from my hand for the first few days. Yesterday he finally started cup feeding and eating from my hand.
Are you trying to hand feed?

All my chameleons have eventually started hand feeding. It usually takes until about 3 months of age for them to start hand feeding (for me, at least). As soon as they figure out that you aren't a predator and in fact the supplier of food and they begin to trust you they should begin to hand feed. I recently got an 8 week old panther who still does not hand feed but I'm sure will after some time.

i am queen of patients, i bet he will eventually snag one from me, i just need to start a routine with him or something, he certainly loves eating, so eventually he's gotta give.

My little veiled Daedelus ate from my hand from the 2nd day I got him at about 1 month old, and now he's about 2 months and I can hold him on one hand and feed him crickets from the other. He doesn't seem too stressed out by it and always eats! He is so cute!

One thing that my fiance did was place crickets on the plants around my little guy. Eventually he got impatient and snatched one before it was set down. He will usually eat the first few by hand now.
