First, you do not know the solution, do you? Also you already knew how many crickets you offer. So why is there a problem.

You may want to not make answers, but keep in mind the possible solutions I mentioned. You think your monitor has enough to eat. How do you know? what if it wants something other then crickets, or different sized crickets. I do find, they will at times refuse or only eat lightly one size cricket. Then I switch to another size and they eat them like a pig. Still crickets, just different sizes. This can go for other food items as well. So just because you think you offer enough, you may not be. It could still be hunger that is forcing your monitor to try to escape.

It still could be improper hiding and temps.

You do not need to see others setups. You only need to do something and see how it works. And why do you have to order a climbing branch, are there no branches were you live? or other things for the ackie to climb on. Or burrow under? etc.

The fun of keeping IS seeing how your pet reacts to different things. As long as you make it so the monitor cannot get squashed, you should be fine. What bad can happen? It won't use what you offer.

Sometimes the solution for restless individuals is as simple as moving it to another cage(I do this all the time) even if the cage is exactly like the first one. The monitor can and do treat the cage differently.

Consider, you are not stuff with anything, you can do whatever you want. Thats the benefit of getting a captive hatched monitor. They do not have hidden problems. Cheers
