Try getting a tall dog bowl and put the food in there. It is what I did for my chameleons. You can break the legs off of the crix, but that takes too long and you might not want to do that. Hope this helps.

carrick is like that, he has such a big head he cant seem to grab crickets right in front ofhim, he does better if he can move up on them or if they are on his side, i think the bowl idea is a good one, a slick bowl that crickets cant jump out of or you can hand feed him.
