Like I've tried maggots...not small crickets though...I ought to give them a try!!

Maybe he isn't an insect lover? Maybe try feeding him pellet/flake food?

As of right now, no. He seems very hungry, but only for specific foods haha!
He hasn't eaten a thing in two weeks....he always looks and looks, then does his own thing....and he's only eaten one mosquito last week....this is the farthest extent I've ever gone to to feed an animal! Man I wish he would eat!
Turn your filter off briefly when you feed him so he can see the food.
You may need to cover the back and sides so he'll be more secure. Does he have plants or a cave to hide in ?
He is a wild caught and I have moved him to his own tank to monitor his eating habits...it has an aerator so he can totally see the bugs, he just won't eat them
I've tried almost every insect I can get my hands on...I do have earthworms for feeding him..how small should I cut the pieces?
Yeah he's not too fond of worms
Didn't even look at them haha!
Wait you can put a bass in a tank? What about small mouth there is creek behind my parents house loaded with small mouth and bluegill . From 1" to almost a foot long
Ya u can as long as u don't keep him in there for the rest of his life. Small mouths can be put in a tank as long as u have a big enough tank or get a tiny one like a few inches. Don't put any fish that can fit in its mouth with the bass either.
I would probably need a blower because small mouth from what I know can only live in moving water ? My parents have a 2 acre pond so I could safely raise the little guys and release them when they are bigger so they don't get owned in the pond. Or I could make a ginormous plywood tank.
