My veiled has done this twice already while eating. I'm not sure what's wrong with him but your help would be great!

Theres nothing wrong with him. Hes just trying to kill it, like a pitbull does, bite and shake! lol

The fact hes able to catch his food when theyre running around so fast is a plus, and hes certainly quick on his feet!

Wow that really is strange! I wish I could help you but I've not seen that before.

Im not sure what that was but I am sure it freaked you out! He seems and looks fine though and very alert. Could the feeders be slightly too big?

 

[Cassielynnco]

Thanks so much. Defiantly makes me feel better cause I was really worried!

 

[Cassielynnco]

&ill try smaller crickets!

As Benton1576 said, it seems like he's just trying to make sure it's dead. I wouldn't worry. It's like if a cat is playing or catching a mouse, they shake it around to kill it and stop it from moving.

It is definitely adorable though! Your little guy looks like he's growing up with a great personality

 

[Cassielynnco]

He really is a funny little guy. He has his little attitude sometimes but most days he's very active and silly. &surprisingly he's really sociable. My cat lets him climb on her face and she just falls asleep.

Haha that's awesome! My veiled is around a year old now and he's just a big grump, he'll go to the bottom of his cage when he wants out and if you try to bother him any other time he huffs and puffs a bunch. He still has his silly moments though.
