Get feeders to move

[Progrmor]

I cup feed my baby cham right now, and the crickets, beetles & roaches arn´t much active in the cup. What to do about this? My cham dosent seem to interested in them when they are still.

Maybe try throwing a mealworm in the cup with them? They are usually moving around, and might disturb the crickets enough to move.

I´ll try that! Thanks!

Flip the roaches and beetles on their backs, and they will wriggle trying to get right side up.

There was a post from another member that described this method for feeding roaches: get a ceramic, glass or plastic container and glue a stick upright from the center of the dish. The roaches will climb the stick and while they are moving up and down on the stick the cham will see them and recognize them as food. I tried this a couple of times but once Omar knocked the dish over giving the roaches an escape route but I never found any loose in his cage and the first time it did work but I haven't done it again since the above "incident". I am looking for a heavier glass bowl to use. As far as the crickets maybe make one of those "sunny D" feeders. Omar never ignores crickets though but maybe that might help your guy.
