I have a Senegal Chameleon named George. I understand that they don't usualy live past 2 months because they are known to carry a lot of parasites from the wild. I've had George for about 5 months now and he has done great! I haven't had a problem with him until recently. For the past 2/3 weeks, he hasn't been eating much at all. Before this, he was in a growth spirt and ate twice as much as he normally did. If I hold his feeding cup up to him, he may eat one or two, but he hardly eats on his own. He still looks very healthy and hydrated. Would this have anything to do with just ending a growth spirt or could he have eggs? I am not sure if "he" is a he or she. George isn't showing any signs of needing to lay eggs because he doesn't go to the bottom of the cage any more than he usually does.



If anyone knows why George isn't eating like he used to, please let me know asap. I may get some parasite treatment tonight, but I'm not sure if that's what it is because he looks healthy and is still himself.



Thanks,

Chris
