im more than frustrated about feeding my girl. She will eat one cricket...a day. Then no matter what I do, she'll just ignore the rest.
She will ignore a food bowl completely, she gets stressed in a tub and she wont eat anything else. She may lick it but then totally refuse it. She wont even touch waxworms, and believe me I tried.
I am nervous for my girl, honestly. I know they can go on a food strike but id be less nervous if she was not eating at all then eating one and losing interest. I know people say vary diet, but she is literally not interested in anything but crickets (when she decides that she wants her one). I try. I try to interest her in mealies and super worms.
She used to eat so much better. Gahh, I am soooo frustrated. Help anyone? Can they eventually get used to a tub? Should I leave food in a bowl and just leave them and she'll eat when hungry? (Problem with crickets, is they stay in the glass bowl ok but will get out if they dont die)

Some of them just don't eat at this time of the year. If she's not visibly losing weight, just keep offering and try not to worry. I don't think having one or two crickets wandering around the cage is a problem. They're in my geckos' cages all the time with no problem.
