Cage looks good but its not a great idea to use a clear cup for feeding since he could try and shoot through it. I would switch it or cover the outside with tape or something

he already knows where his food is , but to just make sure ima do caver the cop.

thanks 4 the advice

whats the best worms to feed him for his age ?

 

[ghettomike]

Silk worms are definately the best, prob followed by horn worms, butterworms are really high in calcium, superworms and wax worms maybe once a month for a treat as they are really fatty. Just buy worms that are sized to your cham, rule of thumb for feeders is nothing bigger than the space between their eyes but I often feed slightly larger with no problems, just keep an eye on him. I have a 5-6 month old female veiledc and she pretty much eats all medium crickets and large worms and is ok with them ( i would give her larger crickets but they r extremely annoying when they chrip)
