slightly lethargic and possibly sick of dubias

My almost 2-year-old beardie is not eating her dubias. I feed her 3 times a week and for the past week or two, she has only been eating a couple dubias if any at all. the dubias are medium size, around 1/2 of an inch. She has enthusiastically eaten the "big ones" but I don't want to kill the colony and only feed her those. I don't know if she is just sick of the roaches or the calcium powder or what. she is slowly losing weight but maintains her energy when out of her enclosure for free time. What should I do?

Sometimes they go through phases like that. At 2 years old I wouldn't worry about it a whole lot, especially if she's eating some veges too. You could try ordering a small batch of something else like hornworms or silkworms and see if that gets her interest.

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
