depends on the size crickets...... a 3 week old usually eats about
10-30..... some can eat less and some eat far more and they may eat that in 2-3 feeding a day or all at once.

Some eat salads really well with pellets and so eat elss crickets.

He should go after them vigoriously when they are offered to him, if he is not, chances are he has some parasites or worms that are making him ill and if you can, you shoudl try to find a vet that will run a fecal on him.

i got him 2 days ago maybe.
is there any chance that he just need to get used to the cage?
or he is stressed?

Very possible he may have a few days adjustment time before he gets back to normal. We have had ones arrive that took up to a week to get back to eating, they can get a bit over stimulated with all the changes.

Putting them in water can rehydrate them, they can absorb water through their vent into the intestine and they can go several days without eating, but they need to have fluids.

Maybe try a little saucer of water in with him and let him get in it own his own if he wants to during the day... he will let you know if that is something he wants

great that he ate the salad, but he really should be eating more crickets or pellets.

Do you have Rep_cal pellets there? if you do you can soak those in some water and leave the moistened pellets in with his salad during the day.
