How long can a chameleon go without eating

[Syreptyon]

If his tongue is actually functional, it should not have a problem reaching the bottom. You do know how long their tongues are, don't you?

Can you just leave them in there for him?

He seems to be scared of me now i put the crickets in his cage instead of cup feeding hopefully it works

Yeah, his tongue shoots far but not that far.this is a picture of him when i first got him his crest has always been like that

Chameleons' tongues are twice the length of their body.... If his tongue is healthy, it can reach the bottom.

Idk what happened now he hisses at me whenever he sees me and he tried biting me

You need to give him space. Quit trying to force him

I haven’t force fed him in a while he’s been eating on his own the past few days

It's a chameleon. It might never be your buddy. What he means by forcing is to not grab at it and make it come out. Right now you should consider researching as much as possible on the animal you own. This is not a simple pet to take care of but with research you can learn all you need to care for it and prevent certain things from happening.
