We tried a couple of crickets this morning and he ate two, had trouble chewing and swallowing them, needs to learn how to do that now....we bought him a little food cup at the pet store today and when we came home we gave him 3 wax worms and two crickets in it, he immediately attacked the worm but was unable to keep it in his mouth so he tried another with same results, so Steve open his mouth and put one down his throat and he did get that one eaten, then a little later he went up to his cup and grab a cricket and got that one down.......each day we hope he will progress more and more on learning how to eat and swallow without the use of his tongue.......really appreciate your concern, thank you.
