Dadgummit, Chazam!

That dang 'ol Chazam is causing me grief! He has decided not to eat or forgotten how to eat out of the feeder bowl! I haven't seen him eat since early last week.

He won't hand feed (can't run away from me fast enough) and with the hardware cloth spacing that I have, free-ranging crix, roaches, supers, etc are out of the question.

Today I was forced to downsize him back to his 36x18x18 and as soon as I put the crix and supers in there, BAM!! Eating like a champ again...

I'm thinking that I'll have to re-introduce the bowl again and perhaps now that I'll have easier access to him in the smaller cage, try hand feeding a lot more often...

What says y'all? Anybody have to downsize drastically to kick start eating??

My panther won't eat crickets out of his dish, he did a few times but then decided he didn't want to. He'll eat everything else from it though, even picking out worms or roaches - but leaves the crickets.

I put Ringos crickets in his pothos plants and sit there and watch him eat to make sure he's eating. If they jump out I handfed them to Ringo... Also trying to coax him closer to us. He still doesnt like being handled

My Jackson has decided to stop eating in front of me too. I haven't seem her eat for atleast a week. But I know she is because crickets keep disapearing. It sucks cause idk if she's eating the ones that I've calcium dusted... Kind of annoying how picky shes been lately.

I'm gunna keep him in the 36x18x18for a couple of weeks to make sure he's eating well with the dusted goods. Maybe he just want ready for his big boy jungle... :/

***Edit- cage dims were wrong...
