I just came into possession of a small Cranwelli at about 2" in length. I'm wondering what size nightcrawler or redworm he can eat without choking. The little guy loves his crickets but I'd prefer to feed him earthworms since they're easier to keep on hand. But the problem is that he won't eat them. He had the head end of a red worm the other day and since then refuses to eat them while only eating crickets. He seems to like the movement the head makes. I think it seems kind of wasteful for me to be decapitating the worms for him to eat and tossing the near-motionless tail ends. Any good way to get him to eat them?

Also is it normal for a young cranwelli to only want to eat maybe 1-2 crickets a day? The first feed he downed a worm chunk and two large crickets. Since then he's eaten maybe at most 2 crickets (Ca D3 dusted) daily. I've kept tree frogs (green and cuban) and american bullfrogs in the past and they've always eaten on their own without any coaxing. So I'm pretty concerned that he's not eating enough. Perhaps he needs some time in warm water?

Right now he's sitting in rehydrated coco fiber. Humidity is a bit low at 40% it's normally around 70% but I need to buy a new fogger. He seems to eat regardless of the humidity though.
