New guy, still shy, but loves my new roach "tool"

[little leaf]

I have named him Oliver, so I call him and Olive the... O's
he is doing well, settling in, and eating - but still shy- lol this is what he did at feeding time this AM - he is willing to eat, but does not like you "in his face" - and I WILL NOT HAND FEED roaches , so I came up w/ this..its a roach stuck on a zip- we are both happy, the roach is far from me, and I am far from Oliver it can not get off, but when he shoots it, it comes right off plus it lets my place the roach deep in the cage without disturbing or scaring him, so my new "tool" is working well

So you feed roach ciclies? How do you get the roach on the stick?looks like a great idea.

I pin it down, and give him a zip tie enema - lol I use LONGGGGGG tweezers to catch it and hold it still - after reading a post of how a cham almost punched a roach thew a pair of tongs, I could just see the damn thing landing on my head! so this way I can feed it "over head" and dont have to worry about it getting on me- lol
