If i feed my 4 month old adult crickets one at a time is that fine. so he chews it.

and he's really small for his age. could it be he's not getting enough food?

The crickets should be no larger then the space between his eyes.
And you should let him eat as much as he can in a 15-20 minute time period and remove the ones he did not eat.
I don't think feeding them one at a time would make a difference, I would continue feeding small ones until he gets bigger.

well i know about the "no larger than between his eyes".

i dont have the money for lots of crickets so i cant really do the "as much as we wants" thing.

with the large crickets, he chews them up. not just swallowing them whole like he does small crickets.

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!
