Not eating dubia but eats worms

So my boy Ziggy wants nothing to do with dubia roaches anymore. It’s kind of frustrating because I’ve invested in a colony that has now been split into 2. He loves anything worms, bsfl, wax worms, super worms, meal worms, and horn worms and even sometimes crickets. He goes after worms in a second but he’s had a bowl of the same dubia in his enclosure for almost 3 days now and he will not touch them. I even try to hand feed him them and he just shuts his eyes. Any ideas on how to bring him back onto dubia?

That's fine. It sounds like he is getting a good variety anyways, which is more important than him eating any 1 certain bug :)

Keep offering him a variety and eventually he might get the taste for some dubia again. It's not worth withholding food from him to try to get him back on them.

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
