That is strange because lizards do like crickets and there is nothing toxic about crickets to a lizard.. It could be that he likes playing with them first or it could be that he is getting other food in sufficient quanties that he is NOT hungry.

Not all types of lizards will eat the same thing. If you bought "lizard food" that isn't alive, it may not work, since some lizards hunt by movement. Also, depending on the species, they all have different dietary requirements. What kind of lizard is it? If you don't know, do you have a picture? As far as crickets go, you can usually buy them at pet stores... You can also get "cricket food" or just throw in a chunk of potato, carrot, or other produce to keep them alive longer. In general though, crickets have very short lifespans and have a tendency to just up and die...

maybe the crickets are too big. thats what happened w/ my brother's lizards, they never ate because the crickets were too big. unfortunately we discovered that after the lizards died.

If you are giving him large crickets then they might be big and intimidating, try sizing down and see if that works

Try giving him smaller crickets and see if that helps

Are you sure it's carnivorous? Some species of lizards are vegetarians.

If you have a leopard gecko then the temperature might not be high enough. They need belly heat.
