So its the strangest thing, he has a huge appetite however he wont catch his own crickets. My boyfriend and I do the whole let him eat as many as he can for fifteen mins then pull the rest outve his enclosure, but unless one or two are dumb enough to walk infront of him he wont go after them. However he has no problem stuffing his face when I hand feed them one by one. I was just wondering if anybodyhas any advice for this or has had a similar experience?
 
Yeah, hand feeding will do that to them. Feed nothing but greens for a day, maybe even a day and a half. Then, try feeding again. And only do this if your certain it isn't a sight problem. Make sure he has clear, bright eyes and tracks the movement of the crickets when you put them in, even if he is not going after them. Don't be surprised if he loses them when they stop moving, the younger the dragon, the more trouble they seem to have locating and tracking prey that is not constantly moving. Mine was like a little T Rex for the first couple of months, the crickets would go still, and he'd bounce up on his back legs to try to spook them into moving haha. Maybe try feeding him in a separate container as well, some dragons are very tidy and have issues eating in their enclosure, since it'll make a mess. Mine was like that for a very long time too. I just started feeding mine in a separate rubbermaid, and bathing him a half hour after, and he has been much happier about not pooping and feeding in his enclosure. Plus it gives you some great bonding times, when they are the most trusting with you. Give it a go and let me know if it works :) Good luck!

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.
