I am having this problem too. I usually bought less than 50 crix and keep them in a plastic crickets keeper. I have to get rid of 1-5 dead crix every day. :confused:
Thank you for your quick response camimom. I just fed my cham 4 and he loved them!!! :D
I have crickets as staple food. 1 Silkworm per day, 1-2 horned worm per week. And now I have phoenix worm (it's hard to get in Canada). I think Kiwi (my cham) should be satisfied now. :D
PS Oh, two...
Hello,
I got the medium size phoenix worms but I have no idea how much I should feed my 3.5 months old veiled cham.
On the other hand, are those substrates (come with the package) eatable? Do I have to "clean" the phoenix worm before feeding my cham?
Thank you in advance.
Thanks guys. I put my hand in and stood still in front of the cage for more than half an hour actually. :)
Anyway, I will give it few more try before I give up. Thanks again.
Kiwi is about 3.5 months old now and I have had him since Dec 17, 2011. He loves silkworm & cricket. He has never been handled since I have him. I tried to lure him to my hand with silkworm these 2 days without success. :( He would stare at the silkworm, opened his mouth and I even saw him...
lol. Yes, my boy named Kiwi too. :cool:
My first one named Moody but he didn't make it and died in 4 days. I am so happy to see Kiwi is growing healthily. :)
I tried to separate his meals in 2 times a day but he doesn't seem to be interested to eat when I am off from work (5:30PM). Maybe it's too late for him. So I have to feed him a big meal in the morning instead.
Thanks again all.
