Beardie won’t eat crickets

[K.E.W.T]

My beardie has lost interest in crickets… I was just told meal worms are too harsh, I am in Canada and dubia roaches are illegal live but come packaged… unfortunately she is not interested in dead insects! What is another good option for feeding her? She is eating hornworms, but I want to make sure those are an okay staple food.

One thing you can try is the vacuum packed bugs. They're dead, but not dried out. I use tongs, and shake them in front of my boy's face, so it looks like they're moving. He doesn't like dead insects either, unless I feed them to him this way.

I order a lot from Josh's Frogs, but I don't know if they ship to Canada. They're located in Michigan. But they have a lot of selection on protein sources, and some good info too.
