Anoles are picky eaters. Make sure what you are feeding them is alive, such as the crickets. You can also try mealworms. =)

If its a young anole, put a citrus fruit in there. It will allow him to lick it, AND it will attract some fruit flies, which they also eat when they’re young. :)

It sometimes takes a week or so for them to acclimate to their new surroundings and regain their appetite.

Those prey items are generally too big for a hatchling. Try pinhead crickets, pinhead waxworms, flightless fruit flies (Drosophila hydei), and wild caught Leafhoppers.
