    When i say force feed now, she is openning her own mouth, but it takes a lot of time for her to recognize the food i guess now. I kinda have to bother her with the dubia a lot before she starts to eat. Even the big one did not make that difference. After 2/3 dubias she stops eating.
    Well i guess she's learning again how to eat. Anyway i gave her a big rest to see if it makes a difference now.
    You should try something other than roaches. They tend to not like the spikey legs they have and will sometimes refuse them. Try Earthworms or see if you can get Hornworms for her.

    Hey there.
    I usually cut dubias legs and head off before feeding. Anyway she's not interested in them no. I've just fed her 6 crickets easy. She didn't want anymore and went away. Nightcrawlers i'm able to find but only on winter. Hornworms i've never seen around. But there are wax worms, those i've seen.
