I had crickets at first only because I hadn't figured out getting my hands on worms yet. She was good at eating those of course. BUT I couldn't tolerate them at all! I had about 200 crickets I rage quit on and just threw out because I couldn't do it. With the worms she has eaten two. I don't know why she ate them the first time and hates them now but I just tried to feed her worms again and she got interested at the movement, acted like she was about to strike, then walked up to it and licked it and made a face! I've tried making the worms wiggle a lot, cutting them so she can smell their guts, fed her in different environments etc.
So at this point I'm just looking for any more tips regarding making her eat the worms or advice on cricket keeping. I thought maybe if I go ahead and get the crickets from the really yucky pet store I can get to, then I can buy 20 or so at a time and deal with it happily enough despite the bigger cost. It's having so many crickets I totally can not deal with. But I hate to feed her from that place. Does anyone know of a way I can get really cheap and small amounts of crickets from the mail? Probably not.
Please please, any good advice or even unlikely ideas are welcome!
Roaches are out of the question because people in this house won't tolerate that at all (despite any arguments). And yes I have googled and searched this problem to death.
