How to fatten up a 4mo old famele veild fast?

[JlaPinska]

I got a 4 month old female veiled as a rescue because someone's kid wasn't feeding it right. she wasn't getting any vitamin powders and i think they were only feeding mealworms and crickets. When i got her she wasnt emaciated but would have been if they had waited any longer.

Ive had her for a month and her crest is starting to fill in again ( it was horribly dried out) and she seems to have put in a little bit of weight but not a whole lot, can still see the bones in her legs she has no fat build up in her abdomen and extremeties

what is the quickest way to fatten her up? she is scared of a lot of foods. someone told me to feed her every day as much as she will eat but all i can get her to eat is crickets and sometimes superworms. should i just give her more supers or something? i'm not able to order online. i have dubia roaches but she won't eat those either.

Just feed her the correct amount of food, and maybe a bit extra if you want and sooner or later she'll gain weight. but don't feed her too much, as it may lead to future health problems.

She may not eat them since she's picky but wax worms are good and fatty. To get her to expand her diet: horn worms, silkworms, green banana roaches and flying insects are great choices. You need to try to get her to eat more things before she decides shes bored with crickets.

And read up on up on gutoading crickets. Fresh veggies, etc..
