Superworms

[EarlMT]

I have gotten superworms and division roach nymphs for my 4-5 month old veiled a couple times and he never eats them! I was curious if there's any tricks to get him to try new food? He ate hornworms no Problem but won't try either of those two!
Thanks!

Have you tried letting the superworms climb up a section of screen?
It seems like you have to catch chams at the right moment to get them to try something new.

I have not, I'll try that tomorrow when he's hungry! Any suggestions to getting him to try dubia roaches?

If you cup feed you can try putting the dubia in with something he likes to eat.

I hand and feeder feed my dubia. When I hand feed I use a very small cup they can't climb out of and spin them around until they are on their backs and offer them that way. I think the waving legs attract attention. When I put them in the feeder I put crickets or a super worm in with them to stir them up. When they sit still I think they look too much like rocks. They have to move to be appetizing.
As Virgil1972 said above if your cham eats one when going after something else he might get a taste for them.
Good luck.
