Dolly has been quite the little problem child, as of late. She is now roughly eight or nine months old, and I decided a few weeks ago that she was big enough to go up to the medium/large sized crickets. None were larger than the space between her eyes. She ate them and became impacted. After four days of stomach massaging, warm baths, and canned pumpkin, she finally pooped. Since I was worried about her, I went back to the small/medium sized crickets, just to make sure that she could pass them. Much to my dismay, she didn't poop for three days after I fed her the crickets. She eats plenty of greens (she loves dandelions!) every day, and I usually feed her 6-10 crickets a day, depending on the size.
Last night, I put her to bed in her log "house" and she snuggled up inside. Her lights are on a timer, so they cycle on and off every 12 hours. Because of this, they turn on after I have already left in the mornings. When I got home from school today, Dolly was still inside of her house, looking quite...sickly. I took her out and placed her on the rocks beneath her heat lamp. She still seemed to be acting lethargic, and keeps going back into her house. I'm really worried about her. What can I feed her, since the crickets aren't working out?
Just for the record, her cage is about 102 on the hot side and 86 on the cool side.
She is still on reptile carpet.
Please help, I'm really scared. I don't want anything to happen to my baby.
