For all the cricket Hate'n Chams out there!

Well, As many of you know I have the hardest time gettin Romeo to eat his crickets and I am not one of those into the starvation method to get him to do so. So, I have devised a method for him to eat crickets now. I offer him a silk worm or a super and while he is chomping on those I shove a few crickets in his mouth. He eats them! YAY!!!!!! Worked the last few times so just thought I would share and maybe it will work for you too!

HAHA! Thats awesome!!! Glad to hear that he's finally eating them.

"If you're not going to eat your greens, i'm gonna shove em in your mouth!"

lol! He is such a little S@#t!!! I hold a cricket up and he starts to shoot his tongue and then just stops when he realizes it is a cricket! A super or silk or a horn he shoots right for it, so I figured I would try shoving them in there when he is eating the worms and he would spit them out but he is eating them now for the past week. I better shut up cause next time he will probably spit them out! ha!

Haha, knock on wood!

Im not going to offer any worms to my little guy for awhile. Maybe some phoenix, but he's gonna stick with crickets for awhile so he doesn't go on a strike.

Or just a worm here and there cause I have seen it too often on here where they prefer worms over crickets. I guess they must taste better!
