It may be just used to the insects and not liking the greens as much, or at all. Like a kid who refuses to eat anything but hotdogs, or peanut butter sandwiches. It sounds like a pretty dramatic diet change has occurred recently. However, if the feeding stopped prior to the switch, then that may be a cause for alarm. Once again, check the temps well. There could be fluctuations you are not aware of going on. Was its cage moved from a window to a more dark area of the house, or a low to high traffic area, or vice versa?? If it is wild caught, or was housed with other animals at one time, it could be a parasite infestation. You can try some of the appetite stimulants or pro-biotics available. However, I would have a fecal check done. If it is worms or similar intestinal parasites, its pretty easy to have it treated and get it back to health before it gets too far gone.
