They are still able to climb the feeder without their big legs, but can no longer jump out. I'd feel bad if they had a nervous system. I can't be the only one handicapping my crickets on here.
Edit* they have a nervous system, but lack the advanced neural structure to feel pain.
I have a 4 month panther chameleon. It's been about a month and he's doing well, great poops. Only problem is he really doesn't use the feeding cups/bowls/climber. I've tried moving them around, but not much luck. He'll eat 2 or 3 from the climber one, but that's it. Then I come home and he'll eat from the tongs 7-10 more. He's eaten from my hands, and he does like hunting them. I've done dubia, crickets, and superworms. He hates superworms, will tolerate a few dubias but favors crickets. I have everything automated, his light, heat, linear uvb, mister, humidifier but feedings worry me. If I come home late he doesn't eat more and then I'm feeding him closer to lights out. Just looking if anyone had this experience, is there a better feeder for this? Im debating one of those clear one next but it's getting ridiculous the amount of random feeder containers I have.
