Well mine was by accident then... Cause I literally did nothing except put him in dirt and leave him in the cabinet. lol
Moe is a Hawk Moth now!!!

Yes he could be food. They are very large though so you just have to make sure that the size is appropriate for your cham. I won't be feeding him... I am too much of a sap that way.
They dig down in dirt to pupate. I had uncovered him without realizing I shouldn't.. Then they are supposed to dig their way back up through the soil and fly away.This is so cool!! I put my humongous hornworms in my compost pile outside and let them eat to their hearts content...I keep hoping to find their pupae hanging out somewhere nearby
Yes they are! These in particular are quite interesting to read about.
LOL no... When he got all chunky and fat I decided his name should be Moe. It stuck lol But I had never thought of the Moe Hawk.. Works for both stages of his life cycle. Too funny.

He is doing alright. He finally came down off the screen and has been actually using the vines I set up so nicely for him
hes been basking for the last hour, but has only eaten one dubia for me :/ I'm trying to stay positive. I know he is still acclimating. I left some dubias and bsfl in a feeder cup for him, hoping he will help himself. So far no luck, but I'm also impatient so trying to keep myself away from his enclosure to give him some space to feel safe enough to eat.
how many did you put in the cup?He is doing alright. He finally came down off the screen and has been actually using the vines I set up so nicely for him

3 bsfl and like 6 dubia I think. I didnt want to put a ton in there considering I'm having a hard time getting him to eat a lot anyway.

A dubia managed to crawl out of the cup and was just sitting on the vine next to Pesto, just hanging out together
am I doing something wrong to make him not want to eat??
hmmm dubia don't move much... but will move more if there are more in there. At his age he will eat a lot as well. May want to put more in so that the movement of them is more noticeable for him.
Was the breeder feeding dubia? what kind of cup are you using that it could crawl out?A dubia managed to crawl out of the cup and was just sitting on the vine next to Pesto, just hanging out together

Ok, will do. I know he is supposed to be eating like 10-15 a day which is why I'm getting concerned. Hoping he is still just getting used to the new place and will be eating well in the next few days.

The breeder was feeding crickets, but when I offered crickets earlier he wanted nothing to do with them. After, I offered dubias and he took one from me so I decided to put those in there. It's a small deli cup. Guess I'm going to have to upgrade to something bigger.
Take a picture of it. Because dubia typically can not crawl up plastic. You may wanna throw some crickets in there as well. Just because they move more. It will take him a few days to settle in as well.

Those eyes are so creepy
right!!! I did not realize how big they were until I took the picture and the flash went off.
