Veiled Ignoring Crickets >.<

[EmmaChams]

My veiled would happily eat 5-6 extra large crickets almost everyday, 2 days ago I gave him ONE mario worm as a treat and no more than that. Now last 2 days won't touch his crickets.

I know not to give into him so should I not feed him for 2-3 days and offer crickets again and offer him some dubia's as well?

How old is your veiled?

If juvie or young adult, skip a day with no food, then return to the cricks.
But babies need food daily.

My two cents: GET SOMETHING BESIDES CRICKETS AND SUPERWORMS

Often chams become a little "spoiled" and decide they like superworms better, and will ignore other foods because they are having a fit. We call it "hunger strike".

Buy something good for him like dubia roaches, silkworms, mantids, hornworms, pheonix worms, certain snails (do not just go capture a wild snail, there are certain kinds you can feed), etc.

I already mentioned dubia roaches in my first post lol

He eats crickets, well was XD dubia roaches, silkworms and locusts so he he has a good variety, silkworms are really hard to get hold of in the UK and the guy I usually buy from is out of stock currently
