first snow and handfeeding problems

[Thehippie]

well we finally got first snow in Maryland, all schools are closed so I have more time to do some deep cleaning on Apollos cage but apparently Apollo doesn't like snow he was out for cage cleaning and I opened the binds and he puffed up immediately seeing all the snow!! poor little guy was just a little shocked I guess.

but on the other hand apparently Apollo has started to become a bit spoiled and will only take crickets off my tongs or hands, he refuses to cup feed and free range feed. my thoughts are that he just knows that i'll come feed him every other day and so he waits til then so he doesn't have to work. I hand fed him only to get closer to him and to build up some trust but he's become so used to it that he wont take from the cup anymore. thoughts on how to get him to take from the cup again???

Dont hand feed. When he gets hungry enough, he'll eat. I have one like that and whenever he starts getting fussy I stop hand feeding for a while. That seems to work with my guy anyway.
