hi , have a veiled cham in the same position and find that vinny my veiled baby cham dosent like black crix or any crix .he gets very excited over meal worms and i was worried and am fine now to find he is earting normaly. it is a very emotional proccess thing to find ur cham not eating. you should feed every 1-3 days but should leeve things like cabbage at thee bottom of it's viverium remember always offer food and give a strict diet like moine
eg.monday 8 in the morning 2 meal worms
tuesday offer veg in bowl in viv
wednesday offer fruit
thurs offer crix if not mealworms

fri waxworms as treat
sat offer veg in bowl in viv
sun meal worm offering
sometime i modifie it to change his daily route but then he knows exsacly wen hes gona get feed and you find that the cham builds up an appetite for this thanx hop this helps (remember this is opinion and how you feed ur cham is ur option take care kate and sausage

Just wait it out, he will be fine. You shouldnt leave feeders in the cage when hes not eating, esp over night.
