So I've had Lizzie for about 4 months now and she's really improved since coming into my care, however, her previous owners weren't providing her with any UVB light at all, and the only things they fed her were superworms. I've since switched her diet to dubias and she'll eat them no problem. She won't eat any vegetables, or baby food, or fruits, or even the stuff that's been formulated to attract and increase her appetite. Lately she's been barely touching her roaches as well. What I've noticed is that she doesn't seem to be able to associate non moving objects as food. She hasn't been eating much at all lately, she went 3 days without food and then only ate about 8 small dubias on the fourth day, which is nothing for her. My only successful attempts at getting her to eat the dubias are when I'm actively poking the dubias to get them to run and when they run she'll perk up and look at it likes it's food but if it stops moving she loses interest.
I need help, please. I'm spending 20 minutes every day at least just poking dubias and it's driving me crazy. I changed her bowl recently to try and improve her eating habits (the previous bowl was too small and dubias would escape) but my luck has only slightly improved.
