I've been feeding her:
Medium crickets and medium locusts. I tried some medium black crickets and she didn't seem to like those as much as the standard silent ones. I tried a few meal worms before reading on here how bad they are (sadly she seemed to love them.) so I've chucked the pack away and she poo'd normally after them, it was about 4 days ago so hopefully no lasting ill effects? She absolutely loves silkworms (which I'm raising to a big size for her now) and she will eat calciworms. I fed her about 4 wax worms total and she did eat a cricket and some calciworms after so hopefully she isn't snubbing the other food. Morio worms seem huge - but I've heard they're ok? Aren't they just big meal worms though? :? It took her a few days before she would eat veggies. She HATES apple, she tried it and screwed up her face and spat it out. Likes coriander and parsley loads, also butternut squash and pumpkin. The thing is, the medium crickets seem to be... kinda big. I struggle with the 'no-bigger-than-space-between-eyes' thing because I was advised medium to large crickets and locusts but they seem to be a little tight. As in, they're probably smaller but might be debatable? Ah, I'm just a bit of a worry wart, I want the best for my baby. She is sleeping now. She hasn't picked a spot yet but likes to snuggle herself under things at night.
