Beardie wont eat greens or crickets... at all

[Sangheili]

I've had a hard time getting Tiberius to eat greens lately, I don't know what I should do!
He wont eat crickets, only superworms. I've tried shaking the crickets up in some of the superworms so they at least SMELL like superworms, but he'll only eat a few of them. Superworms are only available at Petco, which is a 45 minute drive from here and the pass is closed almost every other day because of the bad winter weather :/

Anyone have any suggestions? ;A; I'm going to try and start a dubia colony soon, but it'll take a bit to get the money I need for the colony.

Which greens have you tried? Mine prefer collard or mustard greens. Also you can play with the shape and size that you cut it in sometimes that makes them pay more attention to the greens...Will he eat butternut squash? As far as the crickets, mine started refusing them and I have never been able to get them to eat them again...I started a dubia colony and use supers also...The pass, are you in the Seattle area?

I tried mashing it up today by giving him several different things to choose from. He has to do with the greens I have right now [collard greens] until Tuesday, that's when the stores get new and fresh stuff in.
I gave him some cactus pad, strawberries, butternut squash, and some raw green beans, but he didn't touch them!

I don't know what's up with him ;A;
Anyone know a -really- reliable place to get super worms? He only seems interested in those lately >>;

Naw, the pass through the mountains in Wyoming x3 I'm located in a small college town where there's only 3 ways out, all 3 are through three mountain areas and all 3 end up getting closed a LOT during the winter. I MIGHT be going to Ft. Collins tomorrow for my moms b-day and I would be able to pick up omnoms there, but it's really iffy since we had a whiteout come through town in less than 5 minutes. 5 minutes it was clear and happy and LITERALLY 5 minutes later I was driving in a whiteout and had to hang out at Gamestop for a little while for the snow to settle down.

Have you tried to blend it with a little water and some calcium. I have used my blender to make a paste out of her greens and fruits and placed it on her nose and let her lick it off. After a couple days I saw her eating the greens in the dish. I guess she got the taste for them when I was blending them. She still does not like them that much but she does eat them when I mix them with crickets in a can(chopped up into small pieces) and dust it all.

Good luck!

I know it's been a long time since you've looke at this posting but i get my supers online at Greatlakes hornworm. They are cheap and reliable so far, 3 orders of 1000 with no issues at all. I know you probably dont want 1000 lol but i do that many because it's only 18 bucks for a month of food for my 3 babies. It's worth looking into.
