Two days ago I received a baby panther chameleon (male born 12/03/18 - packaging says). He seems very healthy, moves a lot, looks great. However, I have never had a chameleon this small before, so I am a bit worried about the care. I had to move it into a smaller enclosure because I was afraid it never would find it’s prey.
Yesterday (day 1), I did see it strike at a cricket but miss. However, I haven’t seen it physically eat any as of yet. I didn’t see any crickets left today (other than a couple dead ones) when I came home from work, and when I put a few more in today, he didn’t eat any. One actually crawled over him.
I guess I’m just wondering if this is normal, I believe the crickets are within tolerance of size for him to eat. Also, he seems to sleep from 6pm to the next morning, hoping this is also normal. I’ve included some pictures, and any feed back would be greatly apperciated.
Thanks in advance!
