Cup Feeding.

[rshin]

I recently got two nosy be's. The female eats fine out of the cup, but the male seems to run away whenever i fill his cup with crickets. He prefers eating crickets off of branches. Is training a cham to eat from a cup kind of a hit or miss thing? Or should i keep trying to make him eat from it. I dont want to cause him any unwanted stress since I spook him everytime i fill his cup, but at the same time, I want to monitor exactly how much hes eating.What should i do?

tbh honest what id say to do is not feed him for a day and he will get used to that cup alwfully quick if this doesnt work try tilting the cup so he can see movement in it usually this will trigger there desire to suck back the feeders, this worked with mine but yours could be totally different

I don't believe in cup feeding. It is good for the crickets to run around, so the Cham gets exercise, and it can use the full length of its tongue.
