So as many of you know my dear sweet Romeo has been refusing crickets for about 8 months now! I have tried reintroduing them periodically and today it paid off! The funny thing is he will only eat them from the tongs! So if I have to feed that way so be it! He was looking very colorful today too so here are a few pics. My daughter's cameras flash was not working so they are not the best quality.

Hey Carol, he is looking great as usual! I love the lime green color on him. It's good he's eating crickets, so is that like the first time ever? I bet he'd love a dubia with wings! :)
 
Hehe I love how the most simplest things, like a cham eating crickets can make us so excited. I love chams! :D Romeo is gorgeous as ever :D

been feeding him silks, supers, horns, some silk moths. Occasional super beetle when I get them. I fed the beetle with the tongs and he snatched it right up. I thought to myself, well they kinda looks like a cricket to me. so went and got some today and sure enough, he will eat them from the tongs! Go figure!!!!!

Thanks Stuart! He at them for about the first 7 months I had him and then just flat out refused. I found a roach on our patio and I fed it to him(again with the tongs) and he liked it! But don't get me started on them roaches!!!
 
Your cham is one stud!!! Yes I think it is funny what we get excited about and what our chams want to eat. I really think they just try and drive us crazy!! All my cham wanted was worms and I really wanted him off of crickets because I hate them. So I ordered a bunch of different worms and started a Dubia colony and now all he wants is crickets :mad: Now I have a bunch of silkworms, butter worms, and hornworms going bad as well as a few phoenix worms. He started eating Dubias great at first (I have found I love them btw) and then one crawled on his foot and while trying to get it off his foot it crawled onto his head....well now he will not have a look at them and only wants sticky smelly crickets. I hate crickets :eek: I will do anything else....like I said I think they really just try and mess with us!!!

you should just give him to me....you FEED HIM SUPERS!!

haha! That is too funny! He is a handsome devil now isn't he!? lol! Thanks to all for the compliments. He is my one and only and I cherish him.
 
Looks like Romeo is sporting his nice yellow summer colors :D Congrats on the cricket. Feeding might get a little cheaper and easier now.
