I don't know if i have a problem or if i've just been lucky. I have had quite a few chams sent to me and had them eat the next day. But i just got a new pair of jacksons three days ago and neither of them have eaten yet. Should i be concerned or does this happen sometimes after shipping? They appear to be in good health. They look great and are nice and fat.
Thanks in advance!!

hey
i think that is perfectly normal..being shipped can be really stressful,especially if it is cold outside..give them a few more days and see how things go,i have a feeling its just from being shipped and having to get used to their new home..my cham would be in his leaves all day when i first got him and wasn't interested to check out his new cage yet..now hes never ever in the leaves unless hes going to go to sleep..don't worry yet,i figured that out the hard way,which lead me to be the one stressed out and not him!!hahaha..they'll come around real soon i think..

I wouldn't worry too much yet. Make sure their setups are at the correct humidity and let them drink all they want, give them privacy from house activity, and offer only a few feeders at a time. Sometimes stressed chams (especially hatchlings) can get mesmerized by too many feeders running around. Sometimes chams get really interested in flying insects so if you happen to have any night flying moths or houseflies try those.
