This little one STAYS eating! He literally ran and skid across his tile floor to catch a wayward cricket, and then sprinted back to the other side of his enclosure to gulp a bite of salad... as if it were going anywhere, as if it hadn't been in there ALL DAY.
On that note, though, I had a concern I hoped you might weigh in on. Frank had small crickets today, and they looked kinda big for "small," so there I was, measuring them with a little piece of tape and comparing it to his eye-space. They were small enough, so I offered one. He ate it, no prob. I fed them one by one and he had no problems eating like 20, jumping at me for more. He was clearly managing them just fine, and I gave a few at once, so he could actually chase them... And chase he did. He went after them so quick, he got 3 of them AND a piece of bell pepper into his mouth before gulping it down! I was shocked, but he just dashed off after the rest, and went about his business of eating, basking, hopping, etc.
Should I do something different? I tried verbally reasoning with him, but he wasn't particularly receptive.
Active is good if he is willing to chase food, let him. It's good exercise . They can become INCREDIBLY lazy if hand fed, so if he hunts I'd call that a win
The issue is that there's also the ugly stereotype where 'women are so hard to understand and never say what they want or what they mean'. We do though. And the only reason people believe this is that once they make it clear that they can't handle us being frank, we don't tell them things anymore. The context is important.
