Cham won’t eat crickets

[TDR7]

What up guys,

So my 7month old panther refuses to eat crickets or Roaches. He loves super worms, but will leave everything else and refuse to eat. Heard super worms arnt a great staple but not sure what else to do. Thanks

Hi! So superworms are high in fat so they shouldn't be fed as a staple. Try going off of this feed chart

 

[Fchamel]

They can go on hungry strikes. So what you may have to do is offer him the roaches and crickets only and eventually he will eat.

I feel your pain. Mine Superworms and wax worms and few roaches. High fat foods. Maybe will eat these medium dubia I just got.

Dont feed supers anymore, just offer the crickets and roaches and he will eventually eat them

Yeah, you need to stop offering superworms. Only offer roaches or crickets until he takes them. They can hold out for a long time so don't panic if it's several days or more.

Seems to me that panthers go on super strikes more then yemens

 

[Madmango]

It’s possible that he just is not hungry. superworms are kind of like cham candy. If you aren’t hungry you won’t want to eat an apple but you may eat a piece of candy.

I would stop offering cham candy or now. How often are you offering food?

Yeah, panthers in general are much more finicky.

I agree, cut out the supers. I had a superworm-addicted veiled. It was a struggle. Never touched the ivory heads or red runners, barely touched bsfl, went off crickets, went off dubia, got bored with moths. He would eat superworms, wax worms, sometimes horn worms, and silkies occasionally. I did eventually offer crickets exclusively and he began to eat those again after his super-binge. It did take a long time.

Tbh. As of my experience it's hard sometimes to offer advice when your chamelon would eat absolutely any bug..

You are blessed then, with a cooperative cham!
