A local pet shop gave me this tip:

I feed my beardie, Hige, his crickets in a washing up basin (the plastic kind that inserts into your kitchen sink) within his tank mid to late morning - when he's done feeding he jumps out and goes of to bask. If theres only a few crickets left i usually just squish their heads with a pair of feeding tongs/tweezers so that they're dead pretty quick and then put them onto his salad. Later in the day he'll get hungry and go on the 'hunt', see the crickets atop his greens and go to eat them - often they're stuck to a leaf and he'll take that too and then as if to say 'Oh. Thats alright!' he'll carry on munching them. If i don't put the crickets on top of his salad he'll usually just ignore it since nothing really draws him to it.

I also experimented and found the greens he loves such as basil, butternut squash and dandelion then mixed then in with other healthy ones. He often goes for the ones he loves but cant help accidentally getting others too! :D

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
