How can I get my panther to not be a picky eater?

[scott52019]

I've offered dubia, crickets, superworms and hornworms. He likes hornworms and crickets, not sure if he likes superworms anymore and won't eat dubia. Is there a way I can break the hunger strike? How can I get him to eat dubia again? I'm worried I'm stunting his growth somehow because he is such a picky eater.

Not sure if I would call this a "hunger strike" as you say he is eating. Maybe try not to offer him any food for a day or so and then offer only roaches for a couple days.

hi there, i actually have the same problem with my panther. except he loves superworms and just about nothing else. he does occasionally eat crickets, hornworms, butterworms and waxworms. but he wanted nothing to do with the dubia roaches. i noticed that if i didn't feed for a day, at most 2, his appetite was defiantly better. i would recommend not feeding him for a day, at most 2, and then trying to feed him the roaches first before offering him anything else. if he doesn't want them, then i would try feeding him the other insects he does enjoy. i hope this helps!
