[Cali Reaper]

Yes,its moving all over. I placed some fruit flies inside and covered it up with shrink wrap and poked small holes ontop.

Be careful that the container doesn't overheat. Did you put a chunk of fruit in to keep the fruit flies in the container? Do you not have some screen you could put over the container?
How are you keeping it?? Lighting, etc?

I live in California and its pretty warm and thought of having the shrink to keep humity up but yes, I still have a screen roll that I can cut for the mean time. I do have a repti 5.0 uvb light tube.

Would you know how long it takes for the baby chameleon to start eatting? O have not seen him eat the fruit flies and I place a little piece of mango on the container.

They may not eat for a day or two they have energy stored up from the egg. Their first priority in the wild is to get away from the hatch site and find cover then eat.

I removed the baby into a container its day 2 but I have seen him/her it, placed fruit flies and pin crickets in with a piece of mango.

I meant, I haven't seen him eat.

Jacksjill gave you the answer to when it will eat. Is it drinking? Moving around?

yes, he is very alert and moving around. I was just wondering but if he doesn't start eating in the next day or so, what should I do?

 

[kinyonga]

If you are leaving the insects in the cage it will likely start eating. Make sure the temperature is good to help it's digestion and make sure you mist its cqge gently to encourage drinking. If it still doesn't eat let us know.

Where are you in CA? There are a ton of keepers there. If you have problems maybe someone lives close. You would be amazed how many chams live in CA
