Not eating dubia but eats worms

So my boy Ziggy wants nothing to do with dubia roaches anymore. It’s kind of frustrating because I’ve invested in a colony that has now been split into 2. He loves anything worms, bsfl, wax worms, super worms, meal worms, and horn worms and even sometimes crickets. He goes after worms in a second but he’s had a bowl of the same dubia in his enclosure for almost 3 days now and he will not touch them. I even try to hand feed him them and he just shuts his eyes. Any ideas on how to bring him back onto dubia?

That's fine. It sounds like he is getting a good variety anyways, which is more important than him eating any 1 certain bug :)

Keep offering him a variety and eventually he might get the taste for some dubia again. It's not worth withholding food from him to try to get him back on them.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
