i have had my beardie for about 3 months now and i had a similar problem.. i fed mine lettuce and carrots before i gave it crickets but even still just needed time to settle in and eventually he ran after the crickets and started to eat more and more every day.. i dont think you're handling it too much coz they are very friendly animals.. mine still feels threatened by me and doesn't like being picked up but oh well! i would say yours just needs to settle in.. they are live crickets right? being live crickets means that ur beardie has some company [so to say] and is stimulated to exercise and run around even more. do you cover them in calcium powder? i have a UV light but i still cover the crickets in calcium powder coz they hide in the grounding i have and they camouflage so my beardie can't see them haha















just give your beardie time
