She seems a bit thin. She also seems a bit dehydrated looking at her eyes. I would get some food in her... since she is young you can feed her 'well' but don't over do it. Offer her maybe 10 or 12 3 week odl crickets and be sure to dust them with calcium.

Where are you located?

Do some reading..... Check out Brad Ramsey's site to get some ideas on care.

DO NOT take any shortcuts. chameleons need all the care that is suggest, and nothing less. Do some searches on the forum and try not to start a ton of threads about the basics. reading is key

Cute baby, but I gotta agree that the small one looks like something is wrong- it may be only because of the camera and light- I remember when I was taking first pics of my Yoda he looked terribly ill in the pictures even though he was absolutely healthy.
But you better try to give her some water and feed her well- the small chams eat a lot

Hmm, looks a bit too skinny. Force feed that suka.
jk but yeah lil dude needs nutrition.

I wouldn't go so far as to force feeding, but feed things with a little bit more meat or fat to them for the time being, such as butterworms, waxworms, small hornworms and silkworms are great for hydration as well.

As for your cage, I wouldn't use glass unless it is absolutely necessary to keep humidity in or heat in.. They can see their reflection in the glass and it doesn't help with the lack of airflow. If possible, put something over the glass, such as fake plants, paper towels taped on the inside if need be, or just get a screen cage!

Good luck with your little one... from what I can see she is indeed a she!

How many? What size?

How many times do you mist a day? and for how long?

Very true! However Being that size and obviously a little malnourished I would offer feeders you can gutload very easily. Appropriate sized crix and roaches properly gutloaded and supplemented along with a few worms would be the way I would go. Im afraid just feeding worms heavily coated in vitamins or worms with vit. more frequent wouldnt be the best route to provide her with nutrition.

She should be eating up to 10ish crickets daily. One is not enough.

oh no. Growing babys need lots of food! I feed my young chams as much as they want to eat untill they get to be adults.. then I cut back on their feeding.

You should be feeding her lot more crickets

Are you gutloading your crickets? that is also very importaint
