He ate a roach!

[Dylan]

For over a month I have been trying to get him to eat dubias since he gave up on crickets and he never even looked at them. I starved him on and off and finally he ate his first roach today! I only hope he keeps eating them now. I never thought he was going to eat one.

I flipped the roach upside down in my hand and they have a real hard time flipping back over. As soon as he saw the bottom of the roach he ran to it but then decided against it. I put it on the cage wall and hid behind my bed to see if he would snatch it. It almost crawled behind a plant when he grabbed it. I couldn't believe it!! woohoo

Awesome! Now comes the hard part, getting him to eat them on a regular basis!

I was hoping this wouldn't be the hard part ):

Fingers crossed that he enjoyed the flavour! I mean, if he enjoed them, getting him to eat more shouldn't be a problem

If I can get them to eat the first one usually they will eat more. I think you are on the way, good job.
