Female central beardie not eating crickets out of tub

[fisherjayse]

hi everyone,
i have a female central beardie who does not like eating crix out of a 28L tub.
we bought her a box of woodies and put them in the same tub and ate them fine
is it:
a. doesn't like tubs
b.doesnt like jumping crix in a confined space
any ideas would be appreciated
our 2 year old male central beardie (her brother) eats crix fine out of the same tub at a different time.

cheers tom

Some beardies freak out about crickets jumping all over them.
I had some years ago that were the same and bought a exo terra cricket feeding rock.
You put the crickets in with calcium, close the rock, shake it up
and they start coming out of the hole. The beardies pick them off as they come out.
Hope this helps, Justin

just chuck the crickets in the enclosure. if it eats one give it another. if not it probably aint hungry and or just being lazy, will soon learn to eat them if it wants to live.
