Hey!
So, I got Sapphira, my adult female, about a year ago as a young adult, I believe. She was a rescue, and I was told that my best course of action was to feed her the freeze dried insects they sold at stores. Now, I was in a prickly transportation situation for a while, so that was what I've done for a while, until I recently decided to try giving her live food, namely, hornworms, and now crickets.
The issue is this: My poor baby has never really hunted for her food before. And while she showed some interest initially when i introduced some crickets to her tank, when they wouldn't hold still and let her eat them like the worms, she lost any interest she MAY have had, and now the crickets are running wild and chirping CONSTANTLY.
My question is this: Does anybody have any idea how i can get Sapphira interested in hunting? Or am i going to have to let these crickets starve to death so she can eat them without having to give chase?
