What makes you say that? I keep 5-10 crickets in the enclosure at all times so that he can eat when he's hungry. I keep cricket food and water and places for them to hide as well so that they don't go after the T. I've never had any problems, and there are always crickets hopping around until the end of the week. If they were the type to eat and eat and eat then wouldn't all of the crickets be gone on the first night?
