Lucy's eating great but

[Wendyj]

As stated Lucy is eating 2 bowls of salad a day! She should be gaining weight soon. We've only had her since 1-27-17 and she hasn't ate a single bug. Her previous owner said she liked crickets but she won't touch them. I do supplement her salad with calcium and vitamins on a schedule. We have a DUBIA colony and we have a bowl of small ones in her tank. She eyes them a lot but won't touch them. I going to get her some worms as we want her off crickets and on DUBIA. Should I be overly concerned about her lack of protein consumption? She is 2 yrs old and weighs 200 grams.

It's great that she's eating so much salad, adults should be eating more salad. I have dubia, silkworms, horworms and super worms for my adults. My male will sometimes eat dubia and my female's will look at them like "what the heck am I supposed to do with those?". Superworms will help put some weight on her, just don't feed her too many. Variety is the key.
