Ha, yeah no doubt they really enjoy worms a lot. Isabella my Veiled loves superworms but I try to cut her off at like 3-4 a week. She sprints from the top of her perch at the site of a super worm :D lol
 
How do you know the difference?

How do you determine the "sex" of a bug??? Just asking:D

My cham luckily eats whatever I give him. He really likes horn worms, and they are such a pretty color LOL. He is about 3.5 months now. I would love to post a picture, but he takes off whenever I get near his cage. I found him lounging on top of his plant the other day - his little arms were all streached out, like he was sitting on the couch watch TV - too cute. I ran to get my camera, but it was too late. Everyone would have loved it if I could have gotten the picture. I'll keep trying.

As far as sexing bugs go, I don't know as much as I'm sure many people on here do, but I can tell you that for crickets, the males only have two antenna things on the end of their abdomen, while females have three; the third one being a tube like antenna at the end of their abdomen in the middle which they use to deposit eggs.

And as far as dubia roaches go, which are even easier to sex... Males have wings that go down their entire body and are often skinnier than the females, while females only have two little stubby 'wings' that are hardly even noticeable.

Don't know if you really wanted to know all of that, but hey, there ye go! :p
 
Wait a second! your cham only eats male crickets?!

How does he know the difference?

Just cut the egg tube off the female, and you have a male!! ;) :D
