Esmeralda only wants whole prey items as well. Crickets are her favorite by far. If I try to offer her a ground meat item she will 100% ignore it. The comprise we've made is cricket burittos. I wrap the cricket in meat, making sure the head or butt is left hanging out. When she goes to sniff it, she smells the cricket and in her excitment to eat, takes a big ol bite of everything.

He finally ate again today he ate the chicken hearts and ground turkey

Try misting him with warm water twice a day, and keep the humidity up.

 

[chitodadon]

Humidity is at 70 and when he isn't burrowed I mist him and put him in the bath for a lil while
