Well, we are about 2 months from the ideal weather to ship- if I can't find anyone then I'd need to be sure there was some sort of uncrushable box to send him in.... I mean, how is it done? Air holes, correct temp, etc. ? I spend an hour+ a day keeping him happy I can't imagine I could send him in the mail.
I don't know why he can't just eat out of one of Nick Barta's feeders (refuses roaches), has always refused superworms.
I basically have spoiled him.
I am so frustrated. If he would just EAT when I put the stupid bug in there we'd be fine. But no, I have to basically (even after him not eating a few days) keep grabbing the roach and putting it the ideal distance from him to fire away.
Look at my threads. I thought it was a sight problem, treated with vit. A and it looks fine... he can DEFINITELY see, he has NEVER eaten any insect that just crawled by him, it has to be this exact distance away. Sometimes I will reposition the bug 5 times and he won't eat it, then an hour later if I leave it in he will.
Totally not stressed by me at all. He will let me handle him (never do), never changes color (except at night he goes all kinds of colors).
Just super picky eater and I literally can't handle free roaming insects or this hand feeding anymore.
If I threw a horn worm in there he would run from the other side of the cage right now to grab it, but I don't want to make 3 effing trips a week to get hornworms (my local guy gives them to me free if I take them 2-3 at a time).
He just refuses to stay on a staple of mixed dubia/orange heads, refuses superworms totally, refused bb flies, will take silks and butterworms and stuff but who has the $ for that?
