    Does she have a hard time catching them?

    When she was interested, yes she had hard time. A lot of trial before catching them.
    When she was younger, she was more active and more skilled to catched them.

    I tried alsos to offer nightcrawlers with tongue, she is not interested also...
    When she was younger, she accepted nightcrawlers with tongue.

    I thing she won't eat nightcrawlers anymore.

    Maybe she remembers the stress of having trouble catching them and that is why she refuses them now. Poor girl

    I'd like to be poor as she is

    Quiet, heated, and waiting for food ! A dream !! lol Only a male is missing

    She still catches the nighcrawlers when they move a lot in her water bowl...But she goes very very rarely in her water bowl
    Hopefully, she is still interested by roaches, crickets, locusts and mices (Even with tongue).

    I will try also "Frog legs" : this a is a famous meal in France...Sorry for that...
    We can buy them frozen at supermarket.
    Frog legs are a good alternative to nightcrawlers I think

    She also defecates rarely ...One or 2 times a month, not more.
    I soak her each week to make her defecate, but even with soak, sometimes, she doesn't defecate.

    They often lose interest in nightcrawlers and earthworms do to the difficulty in catching them. what helps them get a grip is to coat the worms in calcium

    Mine was having trouble catching them. Then was getting turned off by them. He would make 2 attempts at it then give up. I noticed if I drop the worm from the top of the tank it would wiggle more and he was all over it.
