Mordecai's Feeding Cup

[KyleFitzz]

Hey guys do you think this feeder cup is in a good location? It's on his warm side of the terrarium and he perches on the branch it's under all the time. Let me know what you guys think and if I chould change things up! Thanks GUYS

I think it looks great and you boy is a cutie! Have you noticed if he uses it yet?

I just put it in there! I had a clear one before but I think the red with white inside will help him see them better!

The only thing I suggest is if you have an auto mister is to drill holes in the bottom. I had to do that with mine, actually I had to cut the bottom and put in a screen as the water built up quick

Are those freezer cups still available and what size is your terrarium

 

[crocky]

I got them from Kmart in the Tupperware isle and they were labeled as freezer cups.

My enclosure is 24x24x48

Awesome thanks I just ordered a penn plax 24x24x48 terrarium. Ill run to Walmart or Kmart soon to check it out

I make these, and you can always make a smaller or larger version to suit different sixed feeders. i also still use the standard cups as well, just with a few very small holes drilled in the bottoms so they dont build up water from the mist king.

The only thing I would change is the screen I used was not aluminum and I have had a few guys chew through it.

I love this video, I have seeing before and it tickles me like he is sneaking up on the crickets as if they won't be able to see him. Chams are so silly. Beautiful boy by the way!

I use that same kind of feeder for my crickets and the other one for my worms and roaches.

I made one like that in the video but I feel as if it takes up a lot of space I may just be crazy though haha
