Cat, she won't TOUCH superworms. Every time I've tried, she turns her head away and GLARES at me like HOW DARE YOU! LOL!catUK":3rqeak94 said:AHBD gave some good advice.
It could be that she's bored of the crickets- my beardie went off crickets suddenly at about 8 months and has not touched them since. I found other feeders she liked. At the minute she is happily eating locusts and superworms (superworms can only be fed to beardies over 16 inches). I also found at about 10 months her appetite began to decrease, i was really worried but realised it must have been her age and she was naturally slowing down- she is 15 months old now. I find that my beardie sometimes doesn't like dusted food, however i mixed calcium powder with water and gave it to her that way- she loves it and having never drank water before now loves the water with calcium in (she's a strange one lol). Butterworms are expensive but when my beardie was off her food she LOVED them. Also like AHBD said, phoenix or reptiworms are great and don't need dusted with calcium.

She is on a liquid calcium supplement once a day for a month, then she will be seen again. She is not eating, so her breeder suggested some pasty calcium/vitamin stuff to feed her-- I think it's called Repta-Aid. It's white powder that you have to mixed with water and feed it to her. She is HATING this stuff. She's still refusing food, but a strange thing happened. I was dusting the crickets and she saw them hopping all around and got SUPER excited, so I put her in her cage with a few. She suddenly lost interest. WUT?!
I'm also gut loading her crickets.
That's it for now.
