After I don’t know how long, my last hold out broke down and ate a mealworm last night! I was starting to think it wasn’t going to happen.

I tried feeding my pokie (Patricia) a mealworm by dropping it into the web. She attacked it, killed it, wrapped it up but didn't eat it.

Them she set up shop in the opposite corner even though that's on the cold side of her cage.

Now she's back where she usually is but still ignoring it.

I tried introducing a hornworm and a cricket. If the cricket gets the hornworm first, Patricia's shame will be very long indeed.

The only other thing she eats are roaches but the brick and mortar stores are reluctant to sell the small ones. I'm leery of just feeding one type of thing.
