Stationary Food?

[cstocke]

Is there any way to create an area where my baby veiled's food cant run away and hide? I put in baby crickets and roaches but he can never seem to find them and he doesn't explore a whole lot. I'm trying to find different ways to feed him as he is a bit underweight and I'm scared he is not getting the nutrition he needs at such a young age. We used to feed him crickets right out of the cricket keeper tube but he stopped wanting to do that. Now I'm not sure how to go about feeding him.

A feeder cup. Use a deli cup deep enough the crickets can't crawl out and attach it to a branch where you chameleon can lean over the top and shoot his tongue down in the cup. You can search on here also. Some people take a milk jug and cut out the front, line the back with screen and the crickets stay on the screen and don't crawl out.
