Good time to try cup feeding?

My cham didn't eat today because I came back from my mini vacation later than I thought so I figure he will be very hungry by tomorrow.

Hes only 4 months old and last time I tried to cup feed it took him a couple days to finally cup feed but right after that I got a smaller cage so I let him hunt his food instead.

I'm moving him to a permanent free range this month so I want to get him to cup feed asap do you guys think this is a good time to attempt?

Moving him and not letting him get used to his new enviromemt will surely stress him out. I would wait until he gets used to his current cage for awhile before trying anything new. Slow down a bit , catch your breath and just admire him for a bit.

I always try offering something irresistible from my hand like hornworms :D (and then try not to stare at them lol)
I agree with pilot man, introducing cup feeding can be done at anytime.
 
You can always try it. It won't hurt. Maybe he'll even hand feed. ;)

I already hand feed him phoenix worms, mealworms and I tried silkworms but he doesn't like them.

I want to order some hornwoms I just hope he won't hate them like he hates silkies
