Wants greens more than insects

Is it weird that a 5 month old is more interested in Kale than crickets? He was getting spoiled on the super worms and now he doesn't have any interest in crickets. He definitely goes through fazes when hes shedding and he is starting to

Mix his diet up --- order some dubia roaches he may just not like crickets anymore -- add some worms to his diet like super horn butter and silk worms the horn worms are a good hydrating worm and grow fast so order small amounts of them --

Thanks ..it does feel like he just doesn't like crickets anymore, so funny how they act. This morning instead of the kale he usually gets, I gave him a few giant meal worms and then snuck in a cricket and he ate the entire container. He has his preference for sure. I have been buying super worms but they were sold out and I haven't tried the horned worm yet.

He ate a whole container of super worms? or crickets? I would get some dubia roaches super worms are not a good staple feeder --- the silk worms are --- too many supers can impact him cuz of the shell so I would not feed a lot at one time

Crickets sorry...only do 5-7 supers at a time usually. Can you only buy dubia online?

Unless your petstores sell them - I feed my 1 yr old 1-2 supers per day - but I also feed butter worms and horn worms-- 1-3 butter and 1 horn worm per day in his salads-- and I feed 3 silk worms as well along w/ his dubias--- you can order dubias and worms from here
