I bought a pair of tongs yesterday and tried to feed him with them, but he wouldn't grab the food while it was in the tongs. I've tried feeding him both a cricket and a meal worm this way, but he wouldn't take either one unless I dropped them in front of him. I'm not sure if it's because his vision is mostly movement-based at this point, or what. The tongs are bright red in color for some reason, maybe the color might be putting him off? I'm kind of grabbing at straws at this point, any help is very much appreciated. ;u;
Maybe a bowl for the mealworms? I feed dubia roaches and superworms out of a bowl. This way they can't get too far if they miss ^-^
