Anyone make feeder cups?

[ChameleonLady]

Does anyone know of commercially available feeder cups? Does anyone make them to sell?

Zoo Med do a Mealworm Feeder cup, it has holes in the bottom for them to wriggle out.

Honestly I just clean out yogurt cups, cut 2 small holes in the sides closer to the top, and slide a twist tie through the holes. Then I use that to attach the cup to a branch, or the side of the cage.

There are so many options available around your house I wouldn't bother buying anything. You can use plastic deli containers, small food storage containers, plastic boxes, cut down milk or juice cartons, and custom fit them to your particular cage. I prefer using larger containers wedged in the cage foliage instead of a small cup. The feeders are more active and the cham has to aim and shoot a little harder which is good for their tongues.

Thanks for the tip! I used a thin wire to wrap it around a branch as a temporary fix. I may use a zip tie.

With a zip tie it's a little more permanent. With the twist tie I can remove the cups easily to clean them out. The twist ties last pretty well, and are easy to replace when I need another one.

I just have 2 small glass bowls. I have a few neodymium magnets from amazon and used those to make the bowls stick through the mesh. BONUS I can move the cup closer to the light by just pushing the magnets outside the cage. That makes the feeders wiggle more. After a while if there are still a couple feeders left I move the dish away from the light to preserve them a bit. I like the mobility of it. Sometimes my cham wont see the dish full of treats so I move it closer to them and watch them eat. I like its mobility!

Thanks for the compliment on my feeder cup, I will be making a few of these for members and will send chameleonlady a PM to see if she would like one.
