Help! Baby not eating!

[vexcham]

I recently purchased a baby veiled cham ( yesterday). I am worried because he wont eat. This is my first guy and Im just worried about him not eating and am not sure if there is a problem or not. Any help would be great.

Never had any experience with chams, but try leave him for about 48 hours so he has a chance to settle in, dont know if its right for chams but it worked well on my varanus baritji

Hello Vex.

It might not be a problem... considering you only got him yesterday, he still might be feeling a little stressed with being in a new house with new owners etc. I'd keep offering the bugs on a daily basis, mist him a few times a day and otherwise I would ignore him for a few weeks. After he settles into a routine, then you can start with daily handling etc.

How old is your new guy? What kind of cage are you using? What are the temperatures and humidity levels like? What kind of lights are you using? What kind and size of bugs are you trying to feed?

Cheers!
