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 --

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
cookie event at my library today, quite fun! Made some bracelets for my comrades too, to give them at church in the morning. Got a busy day tomorrow even though I’m off work… i go back on tuesday so atleast I’ll have 2 days off to rewind….then back to hell lol
The head tilt tho! Aaaahhh
