Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

From what I have heard, Repashy is a good brand to use.
Tricks I have tried with greens are always feed greens earlier in the day, that way they aren't full of the insects they favor most. Also what has worked in the past for me is to mix the greens with worms, or toss crickets/roaches onto them to try and trick them into accidentally eating them.

I have been mixing small superworms into her greens but she seems to just pick them out of the greens only I guess she will eventually come around to it.
Thank You

Visual stimulation! =]
I start out with newborn babies, slowly sprinkling tiny greens onto their papertowel. It tricks them into thinking it's alive, and they eat it. Even with adults, you have to sometimes visually stimulate them into eating or drinking. I put the empty bowl in the tank and slowly put in a handful of greens and veggies. And with water, slowly pouring it into the bowl get's them drinking. They cannot see the water as it is clear, and sometimes they forget the habit and get dehydrated so refreshing it by pouring it in, in front of them helps.

You can also try different flowers like hibiscus, rose petals, mustard flowers, dandelion, etc. Instead of chopping up the greens, try putting in a large leaf. It's more natural, and good for them to tear and eat their greens.
