Current Problem - The current problem you are concerned about.
Chameleon not eating all his food.
Also something I should’ve said before he will eat anything to super worms greens fruits everything just for some reason he’s been slowing down on his crickets.
. I always open my windows to let it shine thru the room and into the bottom half of my enclosure it's cold outside but the cage has the basking lamp and the sun has it's warming properties I close the window once it has passed. They love it.
We love seeing progress.
