I increased the size of roaches to medium and she is, of course, eating fewer bugs. However, something I have been noticing prior to switching sizes, she does not like the calcium powder. I dust the bugs lightly but she will oftentimes refuse them. Then if I offer her an undusted bug, she will gobble it up. She will gobble up a silk worm dusted in calcium though. Also, should I now switch her to feeding two times per day? She is now 3.5 months old and about 43 grams.

I would cut it back to twice per day. Somewhere about there is where we cut Zsa Zsa back, now she is down to once per day at 9 months. (she hates it to lol) we do give her treats though

Meleys will turn 4 months old in two days. Today she weighed in at 80.3 grams and measured 11.5 inches long. She loves mustard greens, dubia roaches, silkworms, and hornworms. She has a cute personality and rides around on me while tucked into my shirt with her little head sticking out. I am trying to get her interested in collard greens and squash. She is still eating 80% insects and 20% greens, Is there anything else I should be doing? Oh and she has been going through complete sheds.

She is doing great --- you can mix some collards w/ the mustard see how she likes them --
