Cup feeding for worms

Hoping to see some setups of cup feeders for various worms. I use a feeder mounted on the side for crickets but he never touches the worms in there. So I’m curious to see some cup feeding setups for worms
 
I just started using the feeder cups from full throttle feeders and love them! I placed it a little lower and put the worms in the bottom part and all of my boys have ate the worms with no problems! Here is a quick picture of my cup, it does have magnets for a screen cage but I use Exo Terra glass enclsures! 776D93A5-81CB-460F-B110-41B514ADFA47.jpeg
 
Yes I have that feeder cup but like I said....he only eats the crickets out of it. He haven’t touched any Superworms or hornworms any time I put them in there. So trying to look for another option for the worms
 
That’s where I put my supers, they crawl up or just wiggle in the bottom screen area and all have been eaten. I have placed the cup lower so they can see in the bottom area. Silkworms and hornworms I just place on branches around the enclosure. Before that I just used a deli cup which worked great. Good luck!
 
Ok cool maybe I’ll try moving it a little lower then. And you just leave worms on branches and he eats them? My guy seems to be really picky. Supers he only eats out of a cup in my hand. Hornworms I’ve only gotten him to eat one before also out of a cup in my hand

I leave butter, silk, and hornworms on the branches and all of my guys just snatch them up! I do dump dubia in near them as I do find they will not eat these any other way, cool feeder cup or not(y)
 
Ok let’s see how it goes. I left 2 hornworms on a branch before I left for work this morning. I’ll see if they are still there when I get home
 
Good luck! This is something Peepers still has not quite gotten yet either...

Superworms do no stand a chance, no matter where they are. I actually took a vid the other day of him on his free range calculating how to get into their bin, then trying and failing, going back up to his perch again, calculating, trying again, failing... rinse and repeat for like 2 hours, then I gave up for him put him in his cage and gave him one. It still makes me giggle because I know if I put him out on his free range he will do it again!

Lol that’s awesome. Yea Weebo loves the Superworms but I hand feed them holding a small cup. Even those he doesn’t touch in his feeder
 
Well....I left 2 hornworms on a branch when I left for work. I found one laying at the bottom of the cage when I got home. The other is MIA.....looks like he got one
