Eating from your hand...

I have heard this is a good way to get your beardie to "bond" with you.

The problem is my beardie could be less interested wqhen I hold a cricket in front of him, he has eaten a few from my hand, but both times it was after I had run out of crickets and it took me a while to get more, so he was probibly a lil hungry.

I don't want to starve him just to get him to eat a few crickets from my hand through, seems mean!

Whenever I put a cricket in front of him he just ignores it completly, eventually just closing his eyes. I know he's hungry because after I give up on getting him to try and eat them I poor them in his cage, and he flips! He will rush his cage and jump up and down on the side of the glass trying to get at the crickets.

Ive already tried feeding him inside of his cage but with no luck, same results with waxworms also.
