5 month old Panther wont't eat meal worms

[bigdog100]

I am trying to give my panther a variety of food. He will eat crickets and will only eay a worm if I dangle it from a vine in front of him. I put the worms in a feeder cup however, he will not eat? Any other suggestions?

Try to avoid using mealworms. Superworms are a 'better' alternative. You can also try hornworms, waxworms, black soldier fly larvae, silkworms, butterworms (if available), and various roaches.

Sorry yes they are super worms

Do you put crickets and supers in the cup together? The cricket action someimes gets the chams attention.

I have the same going on with my 11 month old boy and supers. We are going to purchase some silks and horns to see how he likes them (besides, silks are better for him than supers). Just my two cents since I am having the same experience
