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..

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
