feeding cham's worms ?

[Jeremy l]

how do those of you feed your chams worms do it ? do you use a little cup and hang it in their cage ? or do you put a cup on the bottom of the cage

I do the same as well. The superworms tend to have a tendency to just drop due to the lack of legs if put on leaves...I've also put them in containers before, but they seem to just stop moving after a while and the cham ends up no longer being interested. Aside from that...hand feeding seems to work pretty good.

my cham is hand shy and dont like being hand fed so thats out

I either hand feed or put them in his special little bowl that's propped up in his tree. He knows that bowl.

You'd be surprised how willing they will be to eat supers out of your hand once they have a taste of them.

Is there a part of the cage that you can poke half the worm through and hold onto the back half? This makes them wiggle like crazy and the cham feels like your hand is not involved if it's on the other side of the mesh. Might make a worm hole in the cage at the end line of his major perch, the farthest to the back side.
I stand at the front of the cage, wrap my arm around to the side and hold the worm in the hole at his eye level. He runs down his branch to it and munches a lot of them in a row.

I use a plastic deli-cup that I poked a small hole in near the upper rim and attach to an upper branch with a twist-tie. It's always in the same spot, and Joyce checks it as soon as I have been in her cage for any reason, and then just leans her face over the rim and aims for whatever is in the cup (or gives me the stink-eye if I have not put anything in the cup for her to eat!). I like it because I always know exactly how much she eats, though now and then I will also let a cricket or two loose in her cage just to enjoy watching her hunt and catch them.

ive noticed in my 3 years in this hobby that veileds tend to like feeding cups better then pardalis..i own both.. my panthers will if they are hungry enough but they go crazy for the free rangers' and seem bored when cup fed ..anyone else agree?

 

[chameleonneeds]

I took something like a deli cup cut it for the right size and shape puts some holes in it stuck fishing line through the holes and hang from the top of the cage in front of a perching place.
I have a big cage and lazy cham thats why I have it right by her.
