Thank you for your suggestions Karrie! It’s been a while now since I stopped feeding her treat insects but I unfortunately haven’t seen any improvement from her. She’s begun to stop eating almost entirely besides the occasional carrot she sneaks out of her food bowl and any fruit I decide to feed her since I know she will eat that. She still has zero interest in eating greens. My family and I are becoming increasingly worried and they’re telling me to bring her to the vet. What would you suggest I do? I haven’t gotten the chance to weigh her so I can’t necessarily tell if she’s losing any weight, although she is pooping rather regularly as long as I take her outside to poop. Recently her uvb light also went out so I’m hoping that when I replace it it could slightly help with her eating habits. If push comes to shove and she doesn’t improve I believe going to the vet would probably be best but I’d like to make sure there are other routes I can take before I get to that point.KarrieRee":36h1jnr6 said:I would lay off the treat bugs - as long as shes a good healthy weight only feed her the salads as normal no treat insects - and feed the dubias 2-3 times per week - see if that will get her to go back to eating the greens again - I dont know if the vet is going to help you on that one- as long as shes active not losing weight pooping and basking shes fine and just being stubborn

I will be getting the UVB bulb very soon. I weighed her and she came out to be 14g, I will post my most recent picture of her and her tank. Her poop is often a bit runny and can be pretty stinky sometimes. Her poop has been orange lately because she solely eats the carrots out of her meals.KarrieRee":1sq7a17p said:You need to get that UVB bulb replaced asap she will stop eating all together if she does not have the rays-- please get a weight on her- kitchen food scale- post a pic of her please- and the tank and lighting- her poop is it real.runny really stinky like bad

I’m currently waiting for the replacement to arrive in the mail. It is a T5KarrieRee":298grcrv said:Have you gotten the UVB bulb replaced? And what tube is it the T 8 or the T 5?

I attached a photo, it is a fairly thin mesh but it does open up like a door. I’ve been told that the way I have it now is okay.KarrieRee":udr22ddd said:Ok and the screen on the tank is a fine mesh like a screen door or a wide holed screen? The placement of the UVB depends on this
Karrie
I do have decor under the lamp in the range you suggested. I will take a closer photo, when I had a working bulb the rays shorn through the mesh just fine.KarrieRee":18ni3306 said:Please take a piece of decor and place it directly under the UVB approx 8-10 inches -- I am not really getting a good look at the screen if you can take another pic of it closer -- the rays need to be able to get thru the screen -- it looks ok but I am going to have someone else take a look for sure
