so ive posted on here a couple times concerned that nemo wasnt eating. ive had him for a little over a week now and the only time he had eaten before were a couple crickets on day 3 but after that he wouldnt touch anything. i tried crickets, mealworms and wax worms. i tried cup feeding, hand feeding, tong feeding, and free roaming his food but nothing was working til today. i had his cage open to spot clean but that was hard to do cuz he kept trying to climb on my hand. hoping to distract him i dumped out the tired crickets that were in his cup and replaced them with more lively ones then set nemo on the branch just above it. instantly he dove toward the cup and bam bam bam all 3 were gone! i didnt want to over feed him on his first "actual" meal so i didnt put any more in after that. im just so excited that he not only ate but used the cup! hopefully he will get used to this so i can astablish a feeding schedule. thank you all for all the advice!!
