She's not in the mood anymore. She has finished shedding and pooped yesterday a big turd (thanks to the water and honey)
Today only ate one dubia willingly. I've gave her two more.
I'll only feed her 1 weak from now to see how this goes.
You can use hissers but I wouldn't offer the adults because they are large and contain a lot of chitin. Not really a substitute for mice because they're not the same. It's always good to offer variety when it comes to food.

She really only needs to eat two or three times per week.

Water and honey is not supposed to be used for regular bowel movements. Only when they are constipated. Just use warm water if you think she needs to poop.
