Keeping Crickets in Terrarium with Lizard
 

Two month old savannah is still pretty scared of me. Will not come out of hiding when I’m around. Set up a camera and he’s super active during the day when I’m at work. Problem is, once I come home he goes to his hides and won’t come back out even to eat. I try leaving a variety out for him, but I still don’t think he’s eating enough. He won’t touch any kind of worm, and is iffy with Dubias and pinkies. Goes nuts for crickets though, must be large and moving though (he won’t eat anything dead/not moving).

I don’t like dumping crickets in his enclosure when he’s in hiding because they just hide and I’m not wanting them to bite him while he sleeps. Anybody have any ingenious ways of keeping live crickets contained in a terrarium where the lizard can still access them? I’m thinking about putting a breeder box in with a step in the center that the sav can stand on and pull himself in/out. A determined cricket could still get out, but it might help I hope.
