How do you feed superworms? and cup feeding questions

[DragoLikesReptiles]

Hi, I have a question about feeding superworms. I try placing them on the wall but they squirm so much that they fall off the walls. I try feeding them through a clear cup but he ignores them. Can I place them in his ficus and will they not fall off? Any advice considered. Thanks!

I have screen so I put them on the top screen and they hang. Makes them more eye catching. They swoop those things up in a heart beat. Your cham might not be in the mood which happens to mine at times.

What do you mean by hang? You place them upside down?

I've found it depends on the worm. Some are more vigorous than others. It can take a few seconds and some squirming, but if I have one of the more vigorous ones and give it a second to grab the screen, it'll motor right up the wall. Some of the less active worms tend to fall off or won't take up a grip. You need to get them face up and with legs against the screen.

Right near their head, they have some legs, thats what they will hang from, I find mine are lazy and only hang for short time and them drop off.

Thanks for all the replies! Hold hold them from the head and just let thme hang? Seems simple to me!

Most chams instinctively don't like snatching prey item from the tail end as the prey item can then spin around and bite, and possibly injure them; which is why they like to get prey in their mouth head first, to kill it faster.

i hand feed mine after dusting.. i just cup them in my hand and present my palm to my cham and he hauls butt to my hand and snatches them up. i do this because if i just let them go in the cage they will find places to hide before he can get them. i can hand feed my lizard anything though, crickets, roaches, doesnt matter, as soon as he sees food he runs to the front of his cage.
