My bearded dragon won't eat crickets. How do I feed them safely?

Question

I got my crickets for my bearded dragon and I put all 200 crickets In a tub like a cricket keeper and I have another tub to put my bearded dragon in so I can put some crickets there but when I did he didn't eat any, in fact some even jumped out. It's not that he doesn't have want to eat its just maybe he just didn't see them because it was a somewhat dark area but not to dark so maybe he didn't see them? But my question is where do i put the crickets so he can eat them without them jumping?

Typically bearded dragons should be able to catch and eating moving crickets. It is possible that your bearded dragon was no hungry or if they are feet lots of treats sometimes they won't always eat crickets. I typically feed my bearded dragon crickets in his normal enclosure. I would recommend trying to just put the crickets into his normal home and see if he does better eating them. If he continues to not eat crickets I would recommend taking him to a vet to make sure he does not have an injury in his mouth like fungal or bacterial disease. I hope that helps
