Hi Guys

I have put Juggernaut out side for the day and he is really getting well but its still 5 days after I got him and still not eating and drinking ...

At what point do i need to open his mount and start to force feet him??

i hope its the last thing i need to do

He is really beautiful. I love seeing huge veileds <3 His name fits him great too =D. I wish I could tell you about what to do in that situation. Have u tried putting in several different foods yet? I know it took Mrs.chameleon a whileeee before she would attempt to eat hornworms. The lady before me ONLY fed tehm crickets. -_- Have you tried letting some of the feeders free roam in the cage?

i have tried Superworms, Chriekets and Roaches but he is not interested, last night he took his tong out for n sec when it looks like his going to shoot for it he puts it back... that was the closest to eating i got with him.....

He may not want to eat in front of you. Try putting some feeders in and leaving him alone for a few hours and then see what happens. If you're worried about dehydration a shower usually works well. Put him on a plant in the shower with the shower spray directed at the wall so only a fine mist bounces off to hit him. Make the water warm, not hot. After a little while he will probably start drinking readily.

Ive seen my Chameleon doing that before.... try maybe... attaching teh super worm to the side of the cage and letting it walk there right in front of jug... Also he could be not eating it cause your around? Have you tried leaving the room for a whlie with the feeders in the cage?

i have put super worms in n basket in the middle of his tree because he walks past there ... left it for days just rotating his food so its fresh worms everyday..

during work hours....

I would atleast give it a couple more days before u attempt to force feed..... when he gets hungry he will look for food... as cruel as that sounds....
