Ezzy would not TOUCH ground meat for about 3 months of my having her as a hatching. I would take a little ball of ground turkey, shove a cricket half-way into it - but so its little legs were still kicking- and trick her into eating ground foods. At the hatchling stage they are very movement-based in their feeding response. If Sai only wants whole-prey right now, there's nothing wrong with feeding a whole-prey diet. Just keep offering different things and eventually she'll get a taste for ground turkey. At Sai's age, my gu's favorites were crickets, hornworms, quail eggs (still a fave), fuzzy mize, 1-day old button quail, and Smelt (little fish).
ok so i will try the crickets method ! and where do you get that other stuff? online?

hornworms and frozen feeders I got online.
The weird stuff like quail eggs, weird fish, and weird meats I get from a local asian food market!

do you cook the quail eggs? and how often do you give them the other stuff? also wat website do you use?


I actually just wash off the outside of the shell and feed them to her raw. If you look up my posts there a vid around her somewhere of her eating them and making a mess. :p

If you have trouble finding Calcium without D3 (I know NONE of my local places carry it) I got mine from Pangeareptile.com

Yeah had to order mine online as well. Thanks for that site though, they have the heat tape pretty cheap and they set it up with the clips for free if you want them to. Will definitely be buying that for my dubia roaches.
