I've got a year or so old veiled and he quit eating crickets a few weeks ago. So I order him roaches and bought some meal worms. He ate one roach and now refuses them. He also won't eat meal worms anymore which he usually devours like 10 no problem. So now I've bought him hornworms and its the only thing he will eat. He loves them. But I. Can't keep feeding him these he'll get fat. But he still won't eat anything else and I still have all of these varieties of insects to feed him. He just refuses anything that's not a hornworm. What should I do
 
Any changes in his surroundings? How long have you had him? Try to fill out the how to ask for help form to make it easier. My panther went on a hunger strike a few weeks ago when i moved house. As i unboxed things and set the room out he settled and began eating again.

Current Problem - since about a two weeks ago my Cham quit eating crickets. I bought meal worm and roaches and the meal worms worked as usual. He ate one roach and hasn't touched them since. A week ago he quit eating the mealworms so i bought hornworms. He loves them and will always eat them. But it's not good to be feeding him these everyday and I don't want him to become obese. What can I do to get him to eat normal staples again
