I keep a small colony of mealworms as I refuse to raise crickets and cant always run to buy a dozen , some will eat them, others not so much My A.avic is about 3" so past the sling stage but still extremely picky about food. I despise crickets but so far that's all she will even consider. Hoping these (ugh) roaches I have coming will perk her interest. Most of all, as long as she looks plump, don't worry, they know when they are hungry far better then we do <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
