I'm the bomb!!! LOL! 
So ever since I got Rana, I've been trying to find an "easy" way to feed baby chams silkies. They are a pain to get silkies to stick to a branch or leaf or anything when they are little. And if you get a group out they tend to all "stick" together and can be hard for baby chams to shoot at. SOO, I've tried the small strips of chow and the little dishes, but the strips tear apart and attach to the silkies, So when the babies try to eat a silkie they get a mouth full of chow and the dishes are a pain... So anyways, I've been using my new idea for about 4 weeks and it's working real well so I figured I'd share it with ya'll. I call it "Feenies Silkies on a Stick". You take the long skewering sticks with one pointy side and one flat side. Cook up your chow and dip the flat side of the stick in the chow. Set them on wax paper, cover with clingwrap and let them cool off and you can roll them up and stick them in the fridge. Then you take a stick, place it chow side down in your silky container and let the silkies climb it for about 10 minutes, or while you put on your makeup, take it out and you can either stick it in a potted plant, which I've done or you can use the pointy side an push it through the top screen on a cage(which is what I like) and put a clothes pin on it so It won't slide through. Then the chams can eat from the hanging stick and you don't have to fumble with silkies anymore... Clean up is a breeze and I only have to make 14 dipped sticks which takes about 2 minutes and saves me about an hour or more each week. Sounds kinda silly, but I'd MUCH rather do this and not have to worry about pin-head crickets as much, they stink, they die and they escape easily! Check it out.
