When I first got my Central Netted he was not eating at all, and I had to assist feed him for a couple of weeks. Just hold them tight (but gentle) and rub their nose. They usually open their mouths a little, and then stick the end of the cricket in its mouth. Once they get it in their mouth, they should eat it ok.

You should only have to do this for a few weeks max. They will eventually start chasing the crix themselves, and then you should be fine.
