Baby Veiled is scared of his food.

[Bubblesbabycham]

My baby male veiled is 2 months now. He was only eating fruit flies until yesterday I decided I would go to the reptile store and get him started on crickets. I put the crickets in his cage and he got super defensive, and started acting really scared, running away from them and turning all types of patters. I went back to the store a day later and got him some worms! He doesn't even seem interested in the worms... he's getting too big for only fruit flies and i'm not sure what to do..SOMEONE HELP

what size crickets?

 

[Bubblesbabycham]

They're two weeks, one size bigger than the smallest pin heads.

Put mine on 1/2 inch crickets at 11 weeks - try some blue bottle fly spikes - Steve won't eat worms, so it too a few days and they turned into flies - not my favorite - but he goes crazy You can order them from Josh's frogs.

I would start with pinheads and work your way up.
