You said they both have "the uva/uvb and heat bulbs"...can you tell me the brand and type (spiral, compact, long linear tube)? How old are the bulbs? Does the UVB light pass through glass or plastic? (Did it on the old cage?

You said...."I feed crickets dusted in miner-all once or twice a week with a mix of goliath worms, silk worms, and butter worms intermittently"...do you gutload the insects? With what? Is it Mineral I (indoors) or O (outdoors)?

Are they males or females? How old?

You said..."He also seems to have difficulty moving and grasping with his hind legs"...this might be and indication of MBD but it could also be an indication of constipation or impaction or a number of other things.

You said..."The only changes we have made since we received him was to put him in a more appropriate cage"...can the chameleon still get close enough to the UVB light? How long has it had the new cage?

I really would suggest a visit to the vet so it can be properly determined what the problem is.
