cup feed

[medadnice]

any tips on how to get my panther to cup feed, he eats from my hands and tongs, but when i put crickets in a cup and hang it in his cage he sees me put em in there but wont check it out any further, where he would run to my hand, tong or tube

Use a tub instead of a cup. Hang it somewhere below his favorite spot (not under as he may poop in it) and make sure the tub is not clear. Tubs allow for hunting but contain feeders. Much better than cups in my opinion

ya, i'll give it a shot, just dont want the crickets falling out cuz they end up just staying at the bottom even though i have climbing surfaces

I agree about the tub not being clear. My cham refuses to eat from a clear tub, but has no problem once I switched over to a black one....weird.
