Alex wont eat her crickets:(

[Mattalie]

I am starting to worry. Alex wont eat her crickets. She only ate 4-6 out of three days. She has never done this before. Her temps, other than the fact that its warmer during the day than it was in the winter, are the same. Her diet has not changed. Bathed regularly. Given calcium every day and multivites twice a week. I let her run around for about an hour and a half each day. She is a cery active little critter and always happy. But all of the sudden she isnt eating anything but greens.

How old is she? Once they start to age the desire for insects generally diminishes. Generally. If she is as active and happy - not to worry!

Yes the ratio of insects to greens tips as they get older

The older they get they veg diet should increase over their insects as to when their young they eat anyting that moves ... Try locusts and see how u get along with them
