Only eating undusted crickets

[ants337]

Hi All

Just wondering if any one has experienced this?
So I got lil old Derek (3 months old) home on sunday 27/08/23, given him some time to settle in temps are good 38-40c in the basking area with 12% Uv light insdie the viv. But when feeding crickets he turns his nose up at the ones that have been dusted and only eats your plain ones?

I've ordered some roaches and worms just for him to try, but just wondering if anyone else has experienced this if somehow did you get around it...

Many thanks
Ant

Give him time to adjust... put it out w/ dust, he'll eat when hungry.

You can get some liquid calcium to feed in a eye dropper-
