Ok so go w/ D3 once a week and calcium w/ no D3 no phosphorus 2 times a week - are you feeding a staple feeder? Like dubias crickets BSFL or silk worms? Its not uncommon for them to go off their food - could be weather etc -- mine hasnt eaten either for the last 5 days today I finally got him out of his hide and he ate one roach and no salad -- I am keeping track of his weight as well - but this is normal for Hiccup -

she gets silkworms and hornworms, but im thinking of getting some discoids for her since dubias are illegal

Discoids are good --- they are similar to dubias-- are you in Florida? It has been really hot there so the weather could be effecting her eating
