Is this the right thing to do? I got my baby panther three days ago and he is probally about a month old. He is in a baby tub and I have it set up with just a four inch potted scheffelra and a couple sticks. Anyways the bugger has not eaten a single cricket that I'm aware of since I got him. I had offered him both fruit flies and crickets free ranged with some gut load so they would congregate at the corner and he went down there looked around and went back to bask. So I dumped some flies in the plant and as they climbed up he hunted them no problem. Well I collected all the crickets and put them in a small deli cup near the base of the plant, he paid them no mind. So i continued to dump fruit flies in the plant. I redid his cup and made it a little smaller and attached it to one of the plant shoots so he basks right above it and can't miss it. I just woke him up this morning and I'm thinking I'm going to give him no flies because he's gonna have to eat some crickets the flies don't hold the dust they sit there and wipe it off before the move around. Is tough love the right thing to do? I just want to make him restless so he'll move around a little and maybe find the crix that are right under his nose.
