I have been having a slight problem with my female Jackson, so I decided finally to fill out the help form.
Chameleon Info:
* Your Chameleon - roughly 1 year, 2 month old female Jackson Chameleon. I have had her since the beginning of June.
* Handling - Almost never, occasionally to clean the cage.
* Feeding - USED to eat like 5-8+ crickets every other day, but now eats MAYBE if I'm lucky 5 crickets each time. I gutload her food with fresh fruit and veggies but I am getting King Kricket Feast by ChamalotChameleons.com
* Supplements - Multivitamin with D3 once a month, plain calcium a few times a week.
* Watering - Mist 5 or more times a day, a cool mist humidifier, and I rarely use the dripper....I see her drink from time to time when I mist her, at least once a day.
* Fecal Description - dark brown "ovals", urates are pretty white with occasionally a tad of yellow in them.
* History - Had her since June....before that she was at a pet store. It is a store only in my state, so not a chain or sellout or anything.
Cage Info:
* Cage Type -18x18x36 screen cage.
* Lighting - ExoTerra 5.0 coil bulb. I will be getting a 5.0 Reptisun tube as soon as I have the money. I have a 50 watt heating bulb by Exo Terra.
* Temperature - Basking: 79-83 degrees usually. Ambient: 73-76.
Night: 65 degrees.
* Humidity - Pretty high, around 70% or more.
* Plants - 1 live Pothos, the rest are silk or plastic.
* Placement - In my bedroom, extremely quiet .
* Location - Central Connecticut
Current Problem - My chameleon used to eat fine when she was in an 18x18x24 glass terrarium by Exo Terra. I put her in a screen 18x18x36 screen enclosure because it is better for them and that was 2-3 weeks ago. She only ate like 3 or 4 crickets today. She is not pregnant because July already past and they usually have a brood of babies then....and she didnt. She just is not eating as much as she used to and I want to find out why.

It might be that her appetite is decreasing especially since she is a female, or she is getting bored of crickets, if that's all you feed her. I would suggest getting some other feeders, if you can.
