Well, Abbie is up to 10g since being moved to a tank by herself.... plus I have seen her eat with my own eyes, and she really chases those crix around... The other two girls Aspen and Nannar are doing well, both eating crix every night, so I am getting ready to start pushing the mealies fairly hard, so they will start eating those as well.

As for my mealie colony, have lots of beetles so hopefully I can get "Our House Mealworms" up and running very soon. =)

Actually I just put Abbie in the tank alone for about 3 days without any food.. Then I started putting crix in like 2 at a time every couple of nights. At first the same 2 would be in the tank and I'd removed them in the mornings, but now shes gotten back into the hunt. At first to make it easier on her, try to remove most of the cage furniture so she can see them moving. Leave the crix in there with her for a few hours at a time, then remove them. If she doesn't eat a single one, wait 2 or 3 more days and try again...
