not sure how much it will help but with my chams first clutch i used an eyedropper and filled it with water and reptical mix. i didn't worry too much about quantity just used less than what i put on my crickets as this go straight in the cham.....i know this sounds really tramatizing but if you put your finger over the chams nostrils they will gape to get you off and to breath and you can then pu the eyedropper in the moth realease the nostril wait a bit so they catch their breath and then slowly release the liquid in the dropper. i found the nicer way is to squirt it in with food they are chewing but if they aren't eating it wont happine. It sounds cruel but she wouldn't eat or drink at least in my sight during that week or so.
also ad some electrolize or electrod(3)ize to the water the first boosts electrolites make the cham digest things better and feel better the secon adds calcium and d3. both seem to work at least a little.
I also let my cham stay in the sun all day long during the summer once the night time temp is above 60 and daytime is above 70. when its at those minimums i put her in full sun so she uses the trees inside for shade when it getts too hot ofcourse move the chams into the shade. I have heard that a few months in the sun can help the chams through the winter if they have a good artifical uvb lamp(i use 8.0 lamps)
