14 weeks old has never eaten greens before

Hey! I was just wondering if you guys have any recommendations about getting 14 weeks old to eat her greens. She has never eaten her greens before. Sometimes she eats carrots if I shake it in front of her but that's about it. Should I just feed her protein based diet till she start eating her salad or should I just give her only salad during weekends? and how can I get her to eat her salad?

I always give her salad in the morning and clean her dish every night before she goes to sleep. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong.

Are you sure shes 14 months? She looks little --- If your sure shes that age you can cut back on the bugs and feed once or twice a week --- and give her collard mustard or turnip greens - I mix collard and turnip greens together along w/ cut up squash yellow or zucchini or butter nut raw and fruit--- apples strawberries grapes blueberries -- they like bright colors like red --- sweet potato as well - but that I cook in mic first --- so its soft -- what bugs are you feeding her? Those still should be dusted w/ the calcium d3 and alternate w/ the vitamins as well - when she starts eating a variety of vegies and has a good diet you wont haft to worry about the calcium so much or the vitamins -- and as long as she has a good UVB going too ----- that is really important to her overall health and eating and pooping --

I’m sorry I meant to say 14 weeks. I just edited my last post

I mostly feed her medium size crickets with calcium 5 times a week and multivitamin twice a week. I also offer her dubia roaches twice a month, daily reptiworms and salad on the side. If I’m not at home I leave salad and flukers juvenile buffet blend on her plate.

Ok so her main diet would be bugs --- do not cut back on the bugs---- she needs those up until around a year then her diet will switch to vegies --- its good that shes even eating vegies --- mine wouldnt touch them at that age --- so w/ that being said feed her as many bugs as she will eat in a 10-15 minute time period --- I would switch her out to dubia roaches tho---- they are way more healthy for her than the crickets --- they are easier to keep -- like a 10 gallon aquarium and you can feed them carrots squash their favorite like yellow or zucchini apples strawberries sweet potato --- they dont stink and they dont chirp----- also 1 dubia = 6 crickets--- you can order them on line from Amazon and suppliers offer free shipping --- I just got 200 large for $40 -- in her case she would need small ones--

My one guy Otto probably didn't touch a vegetable for the 1st 9 months of his life even though many different greens were offered over that time. They need their bugs while they're growing, and after a year, the ratio is supposed to flip from 80%/20% bugs-to-greens to the reverse. However, I don't think Ot read that memo :lol: . He is finally eating more greens than bugs, but boy was it a struggle. I would just make sure you feed the bugs + calcium and ~2x a week vitamin supplement for now, and provide the greens. If she eats them, great, but it doesn't seem to be a deal breaker.

She is definitely not eating medium dubia roaches right now. She only eats medium crickets and small dubia roaches.

I noticed that she didn't really like dubia roaches so that's why I switched to crickets but, I will switch her protein intake back to dubia roaches from now on

Anyways thank you so much for the help guys!

If she doesnt like the dubias then by all means feed her the crickets---- some are picky mine didnt like the crickets and switched right over to the dubias -- which I was glad --- the crickets were such a pain in the butt!
