eat little

[janeng]

Please any one can advise how sensitive of chameleon's smell sense. my male veiled cham is 9 months old, and i use some fragrances oil at home. lately i changed the flavor to lemon grass which is a bit stronger than the previous one. then my cham stopped eating for 3 days. and ate 1 cricket + 1 super worm yesterday. He normally eats 5-6 big crickets + 2-3 worms per day. the appetite changed makes me worried so much. im not sure if becoz hes sensitive of the smell. I had already remove the fragrances at home. Any one can advise it. pls...

Their sense of smell isn't that great but it can well be that some chemicals will disturb his appetite.

I'm not sure but I have read that while
Their sense of smell isn't great, their respiratory system is very sensitive, similar to birds. Artificial fragrances are pretty dangerous to birds. I'd guess that could definitely be a possibility.
