Ok i feel like a horrible person right now, i let them sit too long and finlaly when i look the 2 out of 3 eggs died, because i wasnt checking them enough! please no one tell me how much of a dip**** i am on here. but please can you help me. One is still alive and looks Farly healthy "he" has no trouble moving around and seems pretty quik i dont have any food, but i have a ten gallon with coco fiber and a temporary light that will work also a mister and everything else from my old chameleon that passed away but she laid eggs before she did, anyways tomorrow i am going to buy the smallest of the smallest crickets for her. but right now i dont know how long he has been without food i do have some large crickets that i am feeding my beardie but i dont know how that would help, would it be possible to take a leg off of a cricket and possibly hand feed it? PLEASE HELP! there are some bad pics but hopefully you can get what i mean on how small he is.
 
i dont have a great light source to keep it warm, but i do have a heat pad....would that help? its been awhile since i had my last "pygmy leaf chameleon" so any advice would be nice, and sorry i didnt mention the that it wasa pygmy leaf before.
 
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT! would a heating pad be good, i dont want this little guy to die...would cricket leg be ok to get food in him or should i just wait till tomorrow!?
 
I can't really help, but another forum might be more awake right now or you could always post this again in general chat.

fruit fly cultures would be good to have around. maybe some springtails too.
if you can get legs off the crickets it might help... maybe not the back legs though.

if you do heat underneath make sure there is enough substrate so he doesn't burn and or use a lamp dimmer to control temperature.

if you need cultures check out the places cited here... http://www.vivariumforum.com/community/terra-general/4322-good-places-buy-please-add.html
 
You need to pick up some fruit flies ASAP. If there is a Petco or Petmart near you stop there and see if they have any. They've started carrying cultures in the last few years at most of them. Good luck.
