I've never had crickets jump out on me.if you keep paper towel rolls in the bin, they latch onto those and are pretty content. Then you can just grab a roll and shake it out into your feeding container. And be careful about the size of the crickets as well. Nothing bigger than the space between his eyes. I didn't want to be rude or aggressive but it's true. You really are basically starving your baby at this point. Gotta up that cricket count asap.

I understand. I am going to try and up his cricket count.
I just need to figure out a good system on how to supply the crickets. I'll figure it out soon.
I am just pissed at petsmart for giving me **** advice, and angry at myself for believing it.

Don't beat yourself up over it, knowledge is very empowering. Just keep researching and before long you'll be on top of it before you know it. BTW!!! Welcome to the wonderful world of bearded dragons!!!

I use a "BUG BLASTER" to collect my crickets from tub, I simply suck them up and then tip them into the dusting container.

Annuebeardie, can you start a thread and post a few pics of your little guy ? Also of his set up ? With a few tweaks of his feeding and making sure he's set up right you can have a happy lizard for a long time.
