aw. she is cute. :)

well, what dead things does she eat?

it’s odd that she doesn’t eat anything live, have you tried crickets, mealworms and superworms?

the closest thing to a treat that i can think of would be a waxworm. they’re really high in fat so they can’t be a staple diet and they’re usually fed to fatten up skinny geckos. but those can be every-now-and-then treats.

shes a cutie! i love my little afts.. i think their regrown tails are cute. lol.. most wont eat anything dead.. not the other way around.. my afts do like superworms and eat them with no problems.. if your gecko likes mealworms you can try leaving a dish of live ones in her tank for her. keep them in one of those little glazed ceramic dishes (or a glass ashtray works too).. as long as its slick the worms cant climb out. good luck!
a lot of questions about things like housing and tank ideas can be found by looking down through past posts and checking out the caresheets.
good luck with your little one!

I do feed mostly superworms to my adult breeders. but some are picky but they go crazy for Dubia roaches. I also feed all my babies mealworms and baby Dubia roaches never had a problem.
