Picky eater *sigh*

Fenchurch had been more or less inactive since October. Not full brumation, I guess, but she's been sleeping a lot, ignoring food for the most part, and acting cranky whenever we handle her.

The last couple of days, she's become active again. Glass surfing, moving back and forth in her terrarium, and generally making a lot of noise. Her hunger strike continued, though. She'd eat some greens occasionally, and flat-out turn her nose up a the dubias (unless they're white from a fresh molt).

I was contemplating changing her uvb light and bought her some superworms.

Superworms? Suddenly, she's extremely hungry. Couldn't wolf them down fast enough. Would not touch the roaches, though.

That really chaps my butt because I have a nice dubia colony started. Thankfully, Arthur is doing his best to wreck the population.

How do you get a dragon interested in dubias again?

lol I wouldn't be happy either after all we are raising roaches because they are cute. I am glad you have at least one taking care of the population. Have you tried offering smaller ones along with a few superworms?

I've tried roaches of all sizes, from adult to nymph. The only ones that she'll eat without fail are the white ones. Ugh.

And I tried mixing them. The little turd wants until the worm crawls away from the dubias, and THEN strikes.
