As long as he is eating regularly, there is no cause for concern. Some days he may eat more crickets than other days. Be sure to remove any uneaten crickets from the cage though. Gut load prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. Healthy crickets will lead to a healthy swift. You can also offer mealworms, dubia roaches or waxworms. Confirm pret is no bigger than the space between his eyes.
