she prob went to eat the reflection of the cricket. one of my fire salamanders was doing that to a piece of worm last night. i fed the sals on a glass plate and luna got confused. i wouldnt worry to much.

calm down. there's nothing wrong with your bluey.
BTW... there are better foods than crickets to feed your bluey. Live foods do hone there hunting intincts and give them a bit of exercise though.

haha Dexter does the exact same thing, except he won't eat it.. He just kills it brutally and then wanders off.

Its funny to watch Blue go for locusts,he creeps up, does the slow motion mouth open bit, and as he goes to close ,it hops off ha haa haaa, he then gives me a dirty look as if I moved it and the routine starts again, then he gets pinny and just charge attacks until he nails it.
crickets

Try roaches instead of crickets. They are a bit more sound nutritionally and they are alot easier to deal with---once you get past the yuck factor! I love watching my guys chase them down and then do the death shake! Roaches are the easiest feeders I've ever kept.
I'm sure your little guy will be fine but let us know if you notice any issues in the future. We know you love your little guy!
(BTW, Have you gotten your frog yet?)
