he probably thought it was a feeder. It happens. Just try to remove the poo as soon as you see it. He probably learned a lesson.. Yuk...

well you would think so wouldnt you....
i saw him at the bottom and thought, thats weird, he never goes down there and then noticed there was a poo, he then turned round, and ate the white bit, i stood their in disbelief and watched him climb back up the branch. i went downstairs to get some kitchen roll to clean up the rest of it and as i approached the viv saw him eating the rest!!
he obv thought it was tasty and went back for more! yuk! strange thing is, after i saw him eat the first bit i quickly gave him 2 crickets to try and wash it down so dont know why he went back for more?!?!

He might be eating his fecies because of a calcium deficincy.(Don't know how to spell that word)What's his dusting schedule, his lights, and the cricket gutload you use?

He has a 60w light bulb for basking which is on 10 hrs a day, he also has a repti-glo 10.0 UVB strip bulb which is on 12hrs a day.
I dust with multi-vits, just going to try and find the brand (have put it in my own tub!) twice a week.
I have fed the crickets on slices of orange, cucumber, pepper and strawberry.

My 5.5 month old panther did that once too, I was horrified!
Lucky they only do one poo each day so it's easy to keep up with it, if not so easy to always find them!
I have to really keep up on cleaning in his cage, including pruning dead leaves off his plant, I guess they look like a cricket because he always seems to want to eat them!
I thought at first I was under-feeding him, but he takes 12-14, 3/4 size gut-loaded crickets each day...I don't know if I should give him any more then that

Does this have Calcium in it? or are you dusting calcium separately as well?
Do you mean medivEt (not medivIt)?...

this is what im using. does this not have calcium in? i have never dusted before i got my cham so asked the shop what i should use and was given this stuff. i chucked away the tub though so i cant see the ingredients.
This one has calcium and sounds like it has no D3. Depending on the source of vitamin A it might be a good choice for using on most feedings...

Too bad you threw away the container.
