Ha Koubee, do you mean yours won't eat crickets??? I thought it was practically instinct to go for crickets!!

I'm having the same problem getting mine to eat veges - they won't touch them, even after putting dead crickets in there or half alove wriggling ones, and they still won't touch it.

It was mentioned to me to remove their water supply and other food, and just give them a very wet vege mix (for water supply and food), so eventually when they are hungry/thirsty they will eat it. However I'm a little concerned the silly buggers won't realise thats food sitting there and will starve to death, so I haven't tried it yet. Do you think I should?

Since giving them a feed of crickets coated with reptivite, they have even gone off their crickets - they obviously don't like the crickets with the powder on them. Funny things, they eat when they like, and then stop suddenly, you get worried, then they start again!
