How to get panther to eat various types of worms

[matthew1300]

Hey everyone, recently I bought some hornworms and butter worms thinking my 4.5 month old cham would love them. I held it in front of him, like I do with crickets, yet he showed no interest in it , despite the wiggling of the worm. How can I get him to got for one ?

Introducing a new feeder can be difficult sometimes. My guy had zero interest in hornworms at first, but now loves them. Try placing the feeder on the walls of your cage and he may go for them.

Mix the worms together?

That could work or don't feed him for a day and then try to give him a hornworm. He won't starve himself and will eventually take the worm.

Put a worm he is new to with some he likes on your palm... Maybe he will associate then with one another

Can you hold a small cup with a couple crickets and half a dozen worms in it?
