Panther Cham will not eat crickets

[Escalade]

2 weeks ago I moved my 1 year old panther cham from a free rang into a cage and ever since then he will not eat his crickets, I tried for 4 days i kept putting crickets in and out but he would only eat like 1 then go bask or hide under the tree.

What should I do? Just not feed him anything until he finally gets hungry enough and decides to eat the crickets?

Perhaps he is still settiling into the new cage. It sounds like he is eating some, so he's not starving. Is he eating any other type of prey?

I won't worry too much.. Especially after he's been "caged", the fact he's 1 year old and it's crickets we are talking about..
Does he act normal? can u post a pic?
Changing a plant in my cham's enclosure caused 10 days of hanger strike. And in the past years he's been on and off crickets. I switched his died to somenthing more appealing, and different anyway.. After 2 months he loves his cricks more than ever. My panther is 1 y too, I feed him 3 crickets every second day, overfeeding is not great for so many reason. keep an eye on him and don';t stress too much..

ya i changed his plant also, but i have been giving him superworms and hornworms.

Should I just not offer him anything but crickets until he starts to eat them again?

that might be a good plan, for a little while, just to ensure he continues to accept a wide variety of prey and he doesnt get stuck on only larva.

That happened to me he got spoiled on worms. Stop giving him worms. Don't feed him for a few days he will go back to crix. Only give you worms as treats . One or two a day and a lot of crix. Be patient it will work.
