Feeding schedule post brumation (early spring)

Hey guys my Amber seems content on coming out the last 4-5 days not completely there yet (11am is when she comes out) she is willingly eating 1-3 times a day in small quantities.

She hasn't poop in about 4-5 months obviously she brumated so no food to actually poop out but I'm concerned I may be feeding her too much.

She isn't happy about greens she wants protein and protein only should I continue to feed her everyday multiple times a day? Or should I scale back? In the summer she likes her greens but I worry if I feed her too much now when she is semi-out of brumation she won't want greens the summer

She doesnt need all that protein -- feed her salads too -- if shes hungry she will eat them and she will eventually poop so give her time

She looks like she grabbed and ate her greens at some point and I just tried to feed her crickets and she ate 2 and didn't want any more.

She I'm not to worried about in the summer I top her salad with butternut squash and she loves it but her appetite seems spotty since she isn't completely out of brumation.

Guess I gotta be the bad guy and give her some tough love 😆

Note: she is the one who had almost 120+ eggs last summer

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
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
