Baby girls aren't eating

Not really babies but Meteor and Comet seem disinterested in eating. Very found nothing wrong except they are a little dehydrated. They won't eat roaches, aren't interested in worms, and only eat a select vegetable selection once in a while. They won't eat grapes or blueberries either. All they seem to want is crickets once in a great (every few days) while. How do I get them to start eating like my other 3?

I was just wondering because my girl hasn't really been eating much lately either. I went and got some dubia's to see if that would perk her up but so far she hasn't touched them. She'll eat a few supers ever other day or so and yesterday I got her to eat some salad from my hand so I'm just attributing it to her getting older, she's almost 2.

Not sure what to say about your little ones. I would maybe try the baby food and see if that helps.

My roommate made some today and they didn't touch it. They both ate some crickets but not much. Maybe they miss Razor because I took him out last week?

Could be stress from their buddy missing
How many crickets did they eat? How big are they again?
I know I usually overestimate how much my animals should be eating. I always want to see them absolutely pig out

Meteor is about 6" and Comet is 4" from nose to vent. They are about a dozen last night but are back to not wanting anything.

Try squash or sweet potato baby food out of a syringe. Put a drop on their nose and let them smell it it's game over after that haha.thats what I do with all of my picky Eater when I get them.

I used to take turkey baby food add a little water , put it on top of reptars greens she would devour it like she's never eaten before. Something about the turkey she likes the smell and taste!

Vet only said they were a little dehydrated but everything was fine, could they be getting ready to hibernate? They keep digging into the sand every night (I feed them elsewhere).
