They will do this if the crickets are too big or if they are too heavily dusted sometimes.

I've heard it can take a day or so for the hatchlings to want to eat. Maybe they just aren't ready for real food yet. Try some fruit flies see how they like those.

It took a few days for my baby panthers to start eating. I also got really worried. About the fruit flys ha. I bought 6 cultures and the little things wont touch them
not to mention they are hard to keep in the enclosures. They just want the crix.

Mine hatched awhile back all but one. That one took almost 10 days longer to hatch, but when he was ready he came out.
Just thinking about those little guys shaking their heads and spitting out crickets gave me a chuckle. Good luck. Debby

the last time my cham did that, it was due to the fact that the crix decided to fight back and bite him in the mouth.
