Sorry to hear about your anole.. they can be such a pain some times with the not eating thing. But the are like you and me too much of the same foods and they get sick of it and wont eat. Fruits and veggies hand feed them bannanna's strawberrys pineaple apple.. my older female loves bannannas and oranges and even meat.. she eats alot of strange things. Anywyas back to the probelms at hand ...go outside catch bugs!! catch wild grass hoppers try hand feeding.. run your thumb and indez finger from the mouth to the nose tip and it will open it mouth and place the food inside ( watch your fingers!!! ) hand water and hand feed at least 3 times a day .. soon it will perk up and even continue hand feeding it makes for a better "nal" J

p.s Heres my four babys
