What is the best thing to feed them and what can they all eat? I feed crickets and am getting some calcium and vitamin d to roll them in asap. I hear not to do this for every meal though, every other meal or every 3 meals? I don't think she has eaten yet anyways, 3 crickets from last night are still in the tank. She looks interested in them but I think she is still adjusting to her new home. Do they eat meal worms at all? I could see them hiding in the dirt though lol. She is 2 inches by the way, I have medium sized crickets for her.

I know I'm asking a lot in new threads but I'm egar to learn to keep her healthy! Thanks

Crickets should be the main diet but variety is always best. Locusts are an excellent option if you have them accessible to you. Wax worms and meal worms should be used only for an occasional treat and not fed regularly. Wood lice is another good one. Roaches another one. Just avoid anything with a hard exoskeleton as they can be hard to digest. Make sure the size food item is not bigger than the space between their eyes.

A question about bowls to put crickets in. What is the best made material bowl to use?? That I am a bit confused with.

My cricket bowl is made of glass and is about 3 1/2 in round and 2 in deep. It was a bowl used for dipping sauce. The glass is smooth so the crickets can't climb out.

She hasn't eaten in a couple days. Always the same amount of crickets in her bowl every morning.. I don't know if she's just not finding them or not trying to find them? Should I just let them go in the tank and hopefully she'll notice?
