Ideas/pictures for feeding Super Worms.

[PappaRONzi]

I am trying to offer my Jackson some Super Worms but they get away before he can get to them! He won't eat from a cup but he does eat crickets from a hanging feeder (supers don't work in this) that I got the idea from on here. Not sure how to mount a shallow bowl that will keep the worms in so he can have a chance at them. Any ideas?

do you have a screen cage? I hang them on the sides of trhe screen.

I do but they keep falling or crawling away before my guy gets to them. he is really slow sometimes!

I mounted a 24 ounce or 32 ounce plastic cup in all of my cham enclosures fastened to the cage mesh with a simple zip tie run through a couple holes made in the cup, and of course the mesh. Very simple, and superworms very rarely escape. They can if you let the sides get too dirty or dusty.

This is how I feed all my bugs.
Its a plastic bin, abotu the size of a shoe box. with holes drilled in the front and back, then string is used to tie it up and over the top of my cage, around a support beam.
THis allows the food to move around, and entice my chams to eat, it allows the free range experience of bugs, to keep a cham stimulated, (instead of just eating from a small cup, which cna lead to laziness and lack of tongue use (though let me be clear, not all tongue issues or lack of use, is from cup feeding) )

my jackson is the same way. one thing to keep in mind is that yes, a chameleon will eat if you present it food, but sometimes they have natural instinct and just want to hunt their pray, if he wants to eat, he will eat. just give it some time
