Thanks for the advice Ahbd ! I did what u said crippled them and she ate like 6/7!! I was :shock: !lolAHBD":1zrlemn1 said:Yes, moving things around in the tank or moving the tank can cause stress for sure. Just keep her things the way they are and offer small amounts of bugs. You can cripple a few small crickets by shaking them up in a jar along with a pinch of calcium power and drop them near her or in her line of visio in the tank. Sometimes the slow moving, wobbly crickets attract them.

As for the spot, it is possible that it's fungal but hopefully it's just a stuck on stain from the squash. When you tried the cloth + the toothbrush was she setting in the water ? That way you could wet it a few times to soften it. If that is not working, there really may be something there.

And by the way, you still need to dust Dixie's food lightly 1-2 X a week with calcium + D3 to be sure she gets enough D3.

But it's good that she's developing a little appetite .Don't worry too much about 1-2 leftover crickets, they are not as harmful as made out to be. I've had beardies with cricks leftover in their tank once in a while for the more than 20 years of raising beardies and never had any harm done. You only have to worry if they are larger and/or there are a lot of them. One thing you can do if you're worried is to leave a small piece of veg., like a green bean or a piece of washed greens for any accidental leftover crickets at night. They will be busy chewing on that .
