I ordered some small crickets and I guess they would be pinhead small -_-
Is this too small? They don't even seem to be attracted to them, I throw in a big one and bam!
How big should juveniles be eating?

Pinheads, too small to attract attention?

Pinhead (one week old) crickets are way too small, even for hatchlings in my opinion. Next time order 4-5 week old (also called ¾ inch) crix and I bet you will have much better results.
You can try to grow the ones you have, but it will take some time. If you go this route I’d suggest heating them with an incandescent light bulb hung just below the lip of you crix container. Give them some dry food, and a small slice of potato/carrot/apple daily, and with some patience you will have bigger crix. Good luck!
