I never leave adult crickets in with my beardie because they bite... but do smaller crickets bite too? Kirin runs away from them when I move him into a container to feed, I just wondered if I put some in his tank... would they hurt him? Didn't know if bit when they are younger or not.

IMO if a feeder is nibbling at a leo they are either sick or newborn hatchlings that havnt the ability to shake off a prey.A cricket will not nibble at a healthy animal IMO

Yes little ones bite too. I had little ones bite my baby beardies... so they bite 
Also, just because a leo doesn't shake off a prey doesn't mean it's not healthy. For some reason, just like most beardies they won't shake them off. Some will, some won't.
This is why I stick to mealies/supers I HATE crickets

A t least in my experience and opinion a healthy leo will not allow a cricket to chew on him.maybe other ppl have their own experience.
Yep...the little ones bite too! When my Dragon was a baby, the breeder told me to put baby food in his salad. Well he stepped in it, and while basking, the 3 or 4 baby crix that I left in with him while I was at work ATE 4 of his toes off on his back foot! I was sick over it! But he's a completely Healthy BD...he is just a little dumb Roger, not unhealthy
