Well I bought 200 silkworms for my adult male panther, well he doesnt like them. He ate the first few no problem since then he just wont eat em. I bought a few dozen crickets and he has no problem chowing on them any ideas to get him to changover?

I've run into the same problem only w/ hissing roaches. I've got a nice breeding colony of roaches going but my female panther wont eat em. So I've got some cheap if you want some

Anyway back to your problem you could try to wheen your cham off the crickets by offering less of them. Also try to add more variety such as sow bugs, house flies, etc. Chams love house flies (well mine do all that movement drives them nuts) I've also read somewhere to get some green food coloring & for lack of a better term paint the silk worms green (w/ the food coloring) the article said the green coloring would help trigger a food response.
Hope this helps alittle.
Also if you'd like to try some hissing roaches let me know I've got various sizes
