So the baby ate for the first time I've had him (I got him saturday afternoon). I put 5 small cricks and just sat back and watched, he was just running from them trying to climb the walls. I was furstrated, I got up ate dinner myself came back and they were all gone, he has a big belly and is now sleeping.

So my question, I'm keeping the cricks in a tupperwear with a moist paper towel and hard dog food. Is that OK or do they need something else??
thanks everyone

I find that feeding the crix carrots are much better. Also make sure the crix enclosure is not high enough for them to jump as they will get out. I would get crix which are 1/3 of its head size. And a good thing to try is to get lots and lots of crix they will breed more often and take a long time to run out.

their are cricket gutloaders that u can feed ur crix. the ones i use look like carrets but help gutload the crix so there more nutritional for your Leo. and if ur leo is big enough u can offer a bowl of mealworms for him/her to eat at thier own leasure. crix should be no larger then 1/3 the size of the head. if the crix are to big they wont eat it and the crix will eat your leo.
