I'd try whenever. Personally, I just keep trying continuously till success, unless they're very clearly terrified, which hasn't been the case
Preparing for my first chameleon, tips appreciated

If you want to start building trust, I've always hand fed my dragons and held them at night after lights out, so they sleep on you

I have some worms right now, should I try to hand feed?

Don't be surprised if you get nibbled on your finger . The little ones miss some times

Go for it, just be sure to leave the tank lights on for at least two hours after eating to properly digest

That's great, little Cobalt poops all over!
Little update, I feed some worms, loved them so much. Came right up to my hand and just ate them right up! I'll try to handle right now.

I left crickets, dubias, and baby supers in V's food dish this morning.
I came home on lunch to see the crickets and supers are gone.
V has spoken.

So V was already tucked into bed when I got home, but it's Friday so it's weigh day. Took him out, he was fine, but suddenly became TERRIFIED of something and started jumping around like crazy, mouth open, and hissing. I calmed him down, I'm still unsure what he saw, or what he thought he saw, and he settled down to get his weight.
Up 5g from last Friday. He was too afraid for me to get his length, I just wanted to get him back in his enclosure

I wonder if v saw his reflection ?

The only glass to reflect would have been my glasses. Maybe? I know you said one of yours hated glasses, unless we're talking drinking glasses.
There is a window in that room, but we were so far from it, and the window was open, so it was just screen

That may have been it. I primarily wear glasses, but it might have been the perfect storm to see his reflection. Poor little guy.
He's looking super healthy, though. That's a pretty significant gain, about 50% body weight in a week.
Plants are going crazy. Every plant has new leaves coming in, including hibiscus. There's V shaped bites all over the pothos, lol. So adorable.
Back to sleep!

I had a poop explosion from my rescue, feel free to check out the page on beardie forum lol. There's pics!
V has a cute little plump ridge/indent along his spine, which I'm using as a determination of his weight, kind of like how beardies get the downward spine indent when they have healthy weight on them.
I was super eager to weigh him today because I could feel that he had gained quite a bit since last week

I haven't messed with her mobility since birthing that monster. I'm letting her rest, but will give her floor time soon or tomorrow morning.
She's looking like she feels a lot better, she lost a lot of weight from that alone, and feels a lot better to pick up, also. Her body has some give opposed to being stiff.
Happy two weeks, V! And it's been a peaceful, worry free two weeks, minus that on the enclosure floor situation, but he was fine, I wasn't lol. No signs of dehydration or RI. Today was the first time I even saw him open his mouth. Jaja and Mamool did almost daily

Yes
she looks good . I will be waiting to hear how her mobility is . Don't be surprised if she had another huge poop . When they have only had a meal worm diet they really get impacted .

I'm planning to keep her on pumpkin for another full week just to clean whatever might be left
