Hey Everyone,
We got Rosie about 3 weeks ago, she is approx 2-3 years old and came to us very skinny (242g), the shop we got her from said she's been smashing her veggies but because she is underweight we should offer her bugs everyday as well as salad. She eats approx 4-6 insects every day (crickets, woodies or mealworms occasionally) but refuses all salad and veggies except blueberries, I even tried BSFL on her salad but she just looked at them wriggling and walked away.
I think she's not eating her salad because she's filling up on bugs but im really worried about restricting them and her loosing more weight.
Do you think its safe to cut back on the bugs to encourage her to eat salad if she's underweight or should I just let her eat only insects until she fattens up a bit.
She has a reptisun t5 10% 14 inch from basking area. Basking spot is 102 and cool zone is 76 with varies temps in-between those.
