Can anyone give me some advice? I can't get my BD to get greens or flukers pellets, oh and won't drink water,she will only eat crickets, but she is only young

They won't drink standing water from a dish. You can give water by misting their salads, giving them baths, and they obtain water from their crickets. Keep offering her greens even if she doesn't touch them. When they shed, you can mist them outside your enclosure to avoid humidity. I sometimes give mine small dobs of baby food squash- orange, yellow color seems to attract her whenever she doesn't want to eat her greens.

Ok what about the food side of things

She looks to be pretty tiny right now. Crickets and live feeders are mainly what they'll eat at this age. I would offer greens, but they don't necessarily pick them up right away.

My Spike is about 10 months and rarely eats greens even though I offer them everyday. He is a realy booger when it comes to eating!

My Allie didn't want her greens for the past two days. Turns out I put something called endive greens into her salad. She wouldn't eat them. She ate the crickets over her salad. Another thing: I gave the endive greens to her crickets. They eat the endive. So it's a win win situation with Allie. Allie's favorite staple is turnip greens and collards.

Quite happy today, I've been watching my young BD from a distance and she's been drinking water out of her water bowl
