Loads of help you are!
 Try putting them in the fridge for 10 mins before feeding- it slows em down big time, making them easier for you and your baby to catch

I used do the tweezer thing with the crix and it was a pain in the a**. I found a much easier way was to get a deepish plastic dish and shake the egg crate in to the dish with the required number of crix. Then you can dust them with calcium, pop the lid on and then put them in the fridge. Then I used to hold the dish in front of my beardie sideways on and the crix used to walk straight in to his waiting mouth - it worked a treat. I did this as my beardie only has one eye and wasn't very good at hunting.

thanks for the suggestions guys/girls. I tried to put the cricks in the fridge for ten minutes and as soon as i took the container out of the fridge the cricks went loopy and if you would like to know they are black cricks.
thanks again. spyro

With my lizards, i just pick the crickets,locust or worms up and hand feed to them, sometimes i let them chase the crickets around.
