What can I feed my tiny baby anole when crickets are too big to eat?

Question

I have a small green Anole, very young likely no more than a few months old. I have Reason to believe it’s a female. She’s incredibly tiny. I bought “Baby crickets” and they were much bigger than her head. What can I feed Her so she can grow to a regular cricket diet?

That's a good question, because you definitely risk Mushu choking if you feed these crickets. One option is small ants. These are safe to feed and are nutritious. It may take you having to dig-up your own prey and there should be various small bugs available in natural areas. I know natural areas may not be abundant in your area, but you should be able to find some exotic pet shops that can help you find some small bugs to feed Mushu. Below is a link to some more information that should be helpful. http://www.anapsid.org/anole.html I hope that helps and all goes well with Mushu.
