Iksar doesn't see well

[everhood13]

I have noticed that Iksar doesn't seem to be able to see sometimes. She has trouble tracking crickets and has to be very close to them. It also seems as though she has completely blind spots. Has anyone figured out a good way to aid their vision impaired beardies in the feeding game? Or even to test beardie vision? Also, she is avoiding her greens like the plague. Should I skip a cricket day and see if that prompts her to eat greens. I feel bad because she was hardly fed before and now she is making up for it! She looks as if she is getting near to shedding!

Could you put the crickets right in front of her so their legs or antennae tickle her nose?

She hates it when I do that. She sort of freaks out and scrapes her nose all over everything and won't eat. :?

Honestly, it has turned into a well planned chess match. I strategically drop the feeder from a certain distance in her line of sight. It is about 70% effective. Sometimes she has trouble with the tweezers, but sometimes she doesn't she is weird!

maybe switch to worms and put them in the greens.

Ziggy, I gave that a try yesterday. It was moderately successful. I will keep trying!

My Chloe is blind on her left side and seems to have only limited vision on her right. I just have to keep dropping the worms in her "sight zone" until she notices them. It's a bit more time consuming than feeding the others, but oh so satisfying when she gets one!
