Feeding large crickets

[Meg4433]

Does anyone have problems feeding their panther large crickets. Someone told me that a part of the cricket can stick him. Am confused.

From what I understand, the full grown crickets have barbs on their back legs that can poke/ get stuck in your chams mouth/throat. The solution is to remove the back legs, or feed medium crix. I choose to feed the med. crix as I can't stand the chirping.

Well since the large crickets never shave their hairy spiky legs,I will suggest either u break those big huge cricket legs first or hand feed the crickets head first ass last,unless your chamy is grown usually they chew them straight up n swallow,just make sure its not a extra big hairy spiky legs crickets thats all

My panther has eaten them for a few days and now he is opening his mouth a lot.

 

[alphakenc]

Ahh Canker sore,his lip might be cut ,try dubia they much softer n meatier then the hairy crickets

 

[Meg4433]

I have some of the roaches but I have never seen him eat one. Tomorrow I will go buy medium crickets.

 

[alphakenc]

That depends how many time did u try to feed him the dubia.....like me I will never give up unless i find something more challenging n new

 

[Meg4433]

How do you feed him the Dubai? Like a cup they wouldn't stay n a cup in the cage can't hold little bugler. What's your method?

 

[alphakenc]

Seduce n feed ,thats my method

 

[Meg4433]

[Meg4433]

Lol. His favorite are hornworms.

 

[alphakenc]

Mmmm hornworm is like a wet hot dogs except one is green for cham,other are red for human

What if I can't get roachs such as Dubiea and stuff but I feed crickets as a main an then somtimes a horn worm and butter worm , super worms and I try an guy load them as much as I can because my chams don't eat veggies and fruit ?? Is there a way to get them to eat the fruit and veggies ? And is it alright that's there diet ?

 

[Meg4433]
