Shaking his head after I give him food on the tweezer

A few times when I give my bearded dragon greens or crickets on a tweezer, after he eats it, he shakes his head. He has been doing it with the first food I feed him if I feed him a few things in a row. Normally, he shakes his head when I do something annoying. Or something is on him like water. There is purée on the greens, but nothing on the crickets. He has purée on his face. I’m wondering if he is trying to get that off. Does anyone know what this could mean?

Mine do that sometime, nothing to worry about. BTW you can give him slightly larger crickets, he's big enough. Good to see him eating after all he's been through.
Thank you for all your help. I actually have been giving him large crickets lately. Just the bag I bought had a bunch of smaller ones. He still dosent seem to be at 100%. But, I definitely see him getting more excited about the food.

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?
