Have you got a feeding cup. What is he been offered? My cham is reluctant to eat and was rehomed to me only eating locusts. They are picky and notoriously go on hunger strike when bored by ehat is offered. I have offered new feeders and he is starting to eat either from his cup or from my palm.
I understand ur frustration,And Its hard for me to communicate by Telepathy ,if u can tell me more , I might be able to suggest some good idea for u.

Hey @alphakenc I have a little ordeal with feeding he won't take to cup feeding Phoenix worms or roaches I have no idea if the crickets im letting loose are getting eaten I find a couple at night on the floor trying to escape so I take them out (tried cup feeding crickets he doesn't care). The only time I've seen him eat in 5 days is when I stick a dubia roach on the vine next to where he hangs out and it's getting frustrating sense they are dubia nymphs and they will crawl away from him and fall into my heavy brush and I heard they can fit threw any crack I've only been able to get him to eat about a dubia a day that way. After he eats one he losses interest. So I tried with a Phoenix worm and he just stormed off. I'm about to order some silk worms to see if he will take to those. And I think yesterday I saw him catch a free range cricket I'm just worried that the crickets have too many places to hide in my large repti breeze I have a umbrella plant and a pothos in there.

@alphakenc Two month old nosey be
Have u try to ask the breeder that u got it from that what type of feeder he is been eating so far??
Usually I feed my babies with fruit fly and pin head crickets when they born,once they about 1month old I start introducing dubia nymphs (im lucky not in Florida),silkworm babies,as they growing bigger I will leave all type of "PROPER"cham food in a cup mix together " n precount how many n what type I put in,at the end of night I recount them again and put that info in my notebook,every chams can be different,usually if ur breeder feed them a variety food "at the start",especially in a group feeding,that usually promote all that batch of the babies start eating the same food since they are seeing their siblings going crazy on those type of the food.
Since ur cham is still 2month old,I will suggest let him eat as many n type of food as he wants,the key is getting him bigger n healthier,once he is out of that baby stage ,u can always feed him more types of feeders,this jus my personal opinion,there are lots breeders out there n they do thing differently,hope this help u a bit.
@Turtlecham I have to go meet a buyer in local @3:40,if u have any more questions,I will be more than glad to answer u when I get back
