Too hungry for patience?

[Emily]

Every single day, at feeding time, Diddy gets very excited for his crickets. He won't eat them if their dropped in-I have to hand feed him. Lately, he's been biting me, and tonight he chipped one of my nails. He's only 4 months old, but his teeth hurt! Any advice to help stop his nasty biting?

rubber tipped forceps. i hand feed mine also and they always want "the big worm" or your finger. you have to time them just right so that as soon as their tongue touches the cricket, you get out of the way. easier said than done with a young hungry dragon

I definitely recommend forceps. It'll be a lot less confusing for your dragon too

yes listen to josh but if he will only eat out of your hand and won't hunt for his food that may become a problem later on. I know a couple of guys that use forceps and their are cool but you want him to hunt for his food try getting some feeders that you can put in a feeding bowl so that you don't have to feed him. I would never recommend forceps unless you absolutely have no choice and even though Josh recommends them I think that maybe he might agree with me
