I know the concept of free range is simple, but do you guys have any tricks you use to keep them in the environment? I recently got a jacksons cham who didnt eat, after 6 days of not eating i had to force feed him 5 just to get him something. I used a feeder cup, same kind i use on my vieled...
So it still has been a few days since he had not eaten, Its to the point that the crickets are dying in his feeder cup. I wrapped him up in a towel yesterday and force fed him 5 crickets, I would only put them half way but then he would chomp on them and eat them, his tongue looked okay to me...
I also thought about trying dubia, its something ive never gotten before because i personally hate roachs but Ill do it if I have to, I can get dubia from my local pet shop.

Okay actually have wooden dowels so i can toss a few in there, thats a good idea, thank you, ill work on giving him more cover up there, It did look a bit empty.

Yeah thats a good idea, I was going to work on the PVC today but ill swing by today to see if i can do something like that, id like to get the drainage system worked out before anything.
Thank you @RBCam for your advice, One thing I am currently working on is drainage right now, im noticing from everyone that it is key to keep them moist. As for the gutload, I love using cricket crack, however they have a special cricket crack for montane species so i ordered some of that, i...
