i put her in the bin the last 2 days and she only eats a bite or 2 of turkey but then atacks crickets as soon as i put her back in her home... then today she atacked her rock again so i offered her turkey she denied it... offered her it again in the bin she denied it.... i then put a small rat in there and she annihilated it within a minute.... u think its cause i got a diff brand of ground turkey or its just a coincendence and shell eat some again maybe next time? she also hates beef liver i dnt know what else to feed her she even hates eggs it seems

This may sound a little gross but try mixing the crickets in with the turkey. Also, feed her the crickets in her feeding bin.

Do a small mix of turkey and tuna, I noticed when I first tried tuna mine loved it, he was very active with the smell of the tuna, use a bit of the water from the tuna in the mix also, see if that works
Goodluck

thats a great Idea ,Im gonna try that too cause mine has lost some interest in turkey and has never seemed to like beef liver, just takes a bite or two and stops.
