How big is it? What are you feeding it now? I've found that once they realize that they don't HAVE to chase crickets, they generally won't. I feed a combination of f/t fuzzies, cooked ground chicken (fortified w/RepCal and Herptivite as per mfg instructions), raw ground turkey (fortified the same as the chicken), crickets and superworms. I also offer f/t smelts, but they don't seem to interested in this yet. All but the crix are put in a medium dog bowl on a daily basis, with 2-3 of these food items offered at a time. Both animals are eating good and growing at a good rate. Give us some more specifics and maybe we can help out with some more specific suggestions. Billy
