Anything with insects. To mush them up i was told to put them in a blender! But i don't have one so i just kinda cut them up But they were large crickets and waxworms. I don't know if it would work squishing pinhead crix! There'd be nothing left of it!!

What set up have you got for your banded? And what banded do you have?

We make a certain "protien shake" at work if our lizard is not eating. Works for pretty much every lizard. Mix in a bunch of large crickets, wax worms, meal worms, baby food, and even certain bird formulas (they contain many nutrients but not enough protien for reptiles). You can also mix in some tofu and various other worms. If you belive it has worms you can add dewormer or pedialite for dehydrated geckos. Just about evertying you can usually feed it, you can mash up into a nice paste and syringe it into its mouth. Works relatively well, but stresses most lizards out. Pretty much the last resort in chameleons because stress is almost as bad as not eating in those guys.
