Ouros, 4-5month old 13 inch Female
Well as you might recall I could not get her live feeders for almost a week, and lived on meal worms, turkey, and greens. I then got the money and ordered her 500 dubia...and they all came in dead.
I put the dead ones in her feeder dish anyway and tried tapping it make them look alive til the replacement shipment came in and she wanted nothing to do with them after having a few.
Since then I got new feeders but for 5 days she will not touch the live roaches or anything put in her live feeder bowl. She would eat 3/4-1cup of shredded collards and the few meal worms that were dusted though.
Growing annoyed with her not eating I put in the feeder bin with 500+ roaches and she went right after them...but will not touch them in her feeder dish. I think she maybe got a stomach ache from the dead ones and had a negative impression of the dish.
So now....I put her in the feeder container for a few mins to eat and watch how many she eats before pulling her out a few times a day. Though first time she over ate.......but I was happy she ate good for the first time in over a week. Will probably keep this up til she starts eating out of the feeder dish again.
She is still eating over a cup of collards or chard a day ..... I think the fasting might have made her love her greens more.
