My fairly new wc female desert ig laid infertile eggs a few weeks ago, and she has remained thin since. I give them all a huge pile of greens daily, but she has not been eating ravenously. So last week, a well dusted cricket fell in her viv on its way to a collared viv, and she went NUTS! So I gave her another, then two, and she grabbed one, then the other before she had even swallowed the last! Now she waits by the side of the tank for crix! Should I let her have them daily or should I limit the bugs? I know that they are mostly herbivore, but that they do eat some bugs in the wild.
