!. Each chameleon needs this own cage
2.A new chameleon needs to settle in their new home and they are not a hold me all the time pet
3.Are you gut loading the crickets before you feed?
4. Watering- you need a dripper in the cage or a misting system
5.Fecal- It should have a brown part and then a white part, this means they are well hydrated
6. What size is your cage? like a 24x24x36?
7.Lighting- you need UVA and a UVB lighting 12 hours a day (7am to 7 pm) or what works for you
8. Temps- you need to know your basking temp ambient, and at the bottom. They move themselves up and down the cage
to regulate their body temps. You need temp gauges

It would also help if you didn't have like 5 threads about the same thing. Makes it hard for people to know the problem and to help you.
