Okay, next thing. This morning a placed about 6 baby crickets (coated with vitimins) into the cage. While I was preparing them Lex came charging down the branch and threw his body against the glass in excitement. lol When I put the crickets in his cage he took off after one but didn't eat it, instead he charged back up the tree. It's now several hours later and I only see one cricket but they could be hiding in there. Is this a normal BD behavior? Should I search the cage for hidden crickets?
From what I have been told, it is ok to keep a baby bear die in a 40 gallon tank... but I can't say for sure since I don't have any first hand experience.

I've been feeding mine in a separate small plastic cage so the crickets can't hide.

I'm using one of these: (random picture from google)
