im having issues trying to get kioh to eat her food! she wont eat live food.. p.o. only gave her pellets so ive only tried crickets and she wouldnt hunt them.. she will eat the canned crickets though (sigh)

anyway i give her a salad of turnip greens and mustard greens and some squash everymorning..
i also include some few colors of her pellets because when shes hungry she seems to like those.
then in the evening i give her about 7-10 crickets she eats those eagerly

but she does not seem to touch the salad at all..

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
