New Chameleon

[embraceimbalance]

Just got a new chameleon, he is about 2 months old and he is tiny.
have him in a 16X16X30 mesh cage, he has a big ficus plant vines, sticks, and a pothos plants.
The general temperature of his cage is 74 degrees and his basking area is 82 degrees.
He really likes to stay in the basking spot all day and he wouldn't eat the crickets when I put them in his cage. He also has a bowl of super worms but he hasn't ventured for them either and there are several methods for him to get down. I spray his cage twice a day which just makes him, mad. But anytime I get too close he gets a bunch of black spots which go away after a while.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong

Make sure the food is size appropriate, usually the distance between the eyes. I tend to go by this rule for juveniles only as adults can tackle. Other than that it is scared and in a new place, make sure you have a dripper available in addition to the misting.

He is so tiny though I looked for every type of food but everything is bigger than the space between his eyes. He just looks so small and weak and im really worried

Where are you from? Just about every pet store will have pinhead crickets and up, depending on the actual size of your cham. Also, it's a very good idea to fill out the link below and post it. That way, we will have a better understanding of the situation. If you've only had him for a bit, then the no eating part is normal as he is adapting to the new location. Make sure he's getting plenty of water.

pinheads look like dust so you probably have small crickets. Here is a place in NY and a size chart. http://www.nyworms.com/cricketchart.htm

First thing you should only be dusting with d3 like twice a month. Go get some calcium without d3 and dust with that daily and incorporate a multi vitamin twice a month.. post a picture your making him sound extremely small.. if he's as small as you say a superworm is probably wayyy to large. Try mealworms, calciworms, dubia roaches.. there's lots of different options.. is the poop just Brown no urate?
