i had been feeding her greens and flowers and fruits, when i first got her, she would only eat a very little bit of it, , she started loosing weight especially her fat reserves from the base of the tail, so i fed her wax worms, and super worms, and crickets and thats all she'll eat she doesn't eat her greens , or flowers or anything shes really supposed to be eating, u see its not always good buying a wild caught animal, i've had her for like 2 weeks, and the temps are right in there because she poops almost everyday and is very active most of the time

Because she poops, does not make it right. She has so choice, as that is a function of her digestive system. They will sometimes get spoiled on food items...probably not too terrible since it is small. It will likely start changing over to more greens as it matures. Try grating food, slicing, or mulching as different methods of offering it.

Mine would not eat, unless I cut everything twice crossways, then once down the middle (with a sharp knife).

i'll try cutting the food even smaller even though i really don't think it'll help, and the temps r up there, but thanks for your help

IMHO feeding a DI too much protien in the form of insects will wear their guts out and shorten their life. Keep trying all sorts of different veggies . mine like green and red peppers and collards greens best.
