Big crickets?

[alekovenk]

I have a 3.5 month old veiled cham and he doesn't seem to like to eat smaller crickets. I was wondering if I should start to get him bigger ones, or switch to mainly feeding him superworms, or something like that.

No, you need to feed size appropriate feeders. Superworms are fatty so feeding only those is not an option. You can try adding in roaches. But I would look at why he is not eating the crickets... This is not normal. A healthy young cham that has been raised on crickets does not refuse them.

How much is he eating now and at what frequency? Are you using supplements? What type of UVB are you using?

Define smaller. The cricket head should be the width between their eye ball sockets on his head as the max feeder size. If you are feeding pin heads yea thats too small. But you also dont want a mouthful of cricket with legs sticking out of both sides, even if they do go for it.
