Last thing.. I swear!!

Ok.. so here's my final issue.
At feeding time, Scarlett the Chinese Water Dragon usually likes to play not interested while I drop the crickets in there. She makes this big spectacle of it... but by the time she's interested in the cricket- the little sucker has made its way behind her pool, or under something.
Same thing with the Bearded Dragon. The **** crickets hide on them all the time, making it impossible for me to take them out of there at night (I usually have to dig through every crack and crevice for them)...

would you guys suggest I get a 10 gallon tank and feed them in there?
I tried that once when Scarlett was younger and she just kinda freaked out because to her, it seemed like she should be able to run and get out.. but she couldn't!
So I'm in need of feeding suggestions!
P.S. I love you guys

They tend to think they can run thru glass. Try getting a large sterlite tub to feed them in.

you could try removing the crickets legs with scissors and letting them squirm around it works well for slower moving herps that couldn't catch a cricket otherwise.

With mine I use a pair of 12 long tweezers and individually feed each dragon. it is a good bonding tool and you know who is eating what! They are to the point now that when they see the tweezers they are sitting there with their mouths open, waiting!
