It must just have been the shock of moving becasue he/she gto just as active as the other a littler after I posted the message

how often should I feed them crickets? dialy? every other day?

I plan on leaving a constant baby food dish with vits mixed in but....it is on teh bottom...should I make something to feed them up on their branches?

Every other day with the crickets (dusted with calcium). You'll find that some days they just aren't hungry and they won't eat at all. They really don't eat a lot. Baby food can be offered on the days that you don't feed him crickets. It's best if you can put it in for about four hours and then take it out. After four hours bacteria can start to grow on it and make the little guy sick. As for the placement of the dish - I'm not really sure what to tell you. It's really all about where he hangs out and what he prefers. If you find that he doesn't eat it at the bottom, move it to the top. Hope this helps!
