My feeder 'cup' is a small dog bowl believe it or not!! LOL There's a branch over the top so Simba can perch and shoot LOL. I've also got a small branch hanging inside the cup, so if he should fall in, he can easily climb out.
I know a few people use the cups that you get at kids parties. Others use a cut up milk carton...can someone provide a pic please?
Either way, you need to make sure water doesn't gather in the bottom and that it's not see through as ur cham can damage their tongue if they shoot at the wrong side of the cup.
Either put mesh on the bottom, or in Simba's case, I have drilled a small hole in the bottom of his feeder bowl and as it's slightly tilted to the side, whenever a few drops fall in, they drip straight out the bottom
Feeders will get out of the cup eventually. Especially crix, locusts etc... Roaches are easier to contain as they are rubbish climbers. I think its good tho coz the cup gives you somewhere to put the feeders and gives ur cham the chance to catch quite a few, but the ones that get out, means ur cham can hunt them down....great to watch!!
Good luck
