pardalis doesnt want to eat

[stulko]

Hi guys,
i have a problem with my new cham. I bought him about 2 weeks ago from a breeder, then i bring him home but he still doesnt want to eat. I tried get him cockroaches and crikects, but he ate about 5 of them in 2 weeks period. He looks whealthy and runs around whole vivarium, licks water from plants. He is about 3-4 months old. Im worring about him. Can you recommend some tips how to make him eat?

Thanks a lot

Hi and welcome!

Can you fill out the questions of the how to ask for help topic so we can get a better idea of what's going on?

On the picture he doesn't look like he hasn't been eating and he is still drinking so that's good...
Have you found any droppings?
How are you feeding him?

Some things you can try without any guarantee:
1. try smaller feeders
2. try something that flies, they love to hunt flying things
3. give him more privacy

Could be a classic case of the picky eater, except he seems a little young for all that. The only thing I would recommend besides the ask for help form is variety. With the form we could try and see maybe if a husbandry issue is to blame for the lack of appetite. Hornworms are the best to break a picky eaters will power. and if you get the small ones that are still young, they are def small enough for your little guy.
