Last Thursday, my son's veiled chameleon severed his tongue beyond the point of repair. he can no longer use his tongue to catch food. I am giving him antibiotics for two weeks and he appears to drink misted water.
I have offered him crickets every day by hand and once he seemed interested and tried to catch one, then I placed the cricket in his mouth but he dropped it.
At this time, he won't open his mouth to accept the cricket, and I am getting worried he wont eat.
I need any suggestions on teaching him to take crickets by hand.
Thanks.
