Sorry for the loss.

If only a two weeks panther chameleon and you bred yourself there should be a lot more babies to come. It would be very helpful to tell us the feeding schedule and details of the mother prior to the egg laying. Usually hatchlings die because of poor husbandry of the parents (don't take me wrong on this, I trust you have done your research and know what you are doing).

My babies weren't going to crazy for the fruit flies. Try PINHEADS or 1/8 inch crickets, they are much easier to keep contained and you can see if they are eating. I know a lot of people who start off at 1/8 inch. Try powdering the crickets and then putting them on a black bottom so the baby chameleons can see them easily. And make sure to make it easy for the babies to get the chameleons like having a branch go down to were the crickets are at on the floor. If you want to see pictures of my setup email me [email protected] My chams are doing great right now.

Hope things turn around for you.

Also you should be feeding them 2-3 times daily and watering 2-3 times a day.
