YES!! I would try a smaller plastic tupperware container that is more his size. Do up a paper towel in the bottom, some branches, and some fake leaves for him to lick water off of. Also if you leave him in it, hook up the UVB bulb a sufficient distance from the cham!
I think this was part of my problem with my little 10wk panther(now she is close to 4 mo). It seemed like she wasn't growing for the LONGEST time, but I think she must have been having a hard time hunting in the space that was most likely too large for her.
Is your panther showing any other signs of being un-well, or just not eating.

how long have you had him for? If he is few days then give him sometime to adjust to new place. Another reason is maybe the cricket/feeder is too big. And last sometimes they get nervous when your around, give him some privacy.

That's good to hear that he seems healthy otherwise. I was reading your other thread... That cage is big for him, but since he is new it takes some time for them to get used to everything. As already mentioned PLEASE get a UV tube, without the essentials from this "synthetic sun," detrimental effects such as MBD can occur.

In the pet store it is at least 2X the price. Also you can get a fixture from Walmart for about $8-$12.
Do you have any dusts that you use for the crickets, like plain calcium, calcium w/D3, and a multi vitamin? If not here is where it is sold from the same supplier:
You use this most often ( I use it 2-3X a week):

This is a multivitamin that you use 1-2X a month:

I would make up your mind though and keep him in one thing or the other (for him to get used to).
Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck
