Only eats Superworms

[LinusTheOrange]

Happy Halloween everyone!

My issue is this, I believe that I've spoiled Linus. While he was battling Coccidia I would do anything to get him to eat, as I've posted about here before. The only thing I could get him to eat, even a little was superworms. Now that he's recovered, he refuses to eat anything else; even his BSFL which he used to love.

This has left me with almost 100 Dubia roaches lounging in a bug enclosure getting full grown and fat, and my BSFL bin had to be dismantled with the remaning grubs going to feed the birds and squirrels.

Because I can't keep the Dubias inside with the weather getting cool, (allergic to roaches) I've had to make arraignments to give them to a reptile rescue.

But, I still need to get Linus to eat at least other insects, at least BSFL, or hornworms, or something. I ordered waxworms and butterworms, even shelled out the extra cash for silkworms. Linus turned up his adorable little snoot at all of them.

What can I do?

It sounds like some tough love is in order. They can become addicted to supers so don't worry to much, it's actually very common. They will not starve themselves, so if you cut out the supers all together and only offer the BSFL eventually your baby will eat them. It may take any where from a day-three. They can be quite stubborn when they want their way lol. But I promise your baby will eventually come around as long as you stay strong and don't give in
