My lizard just doesn't seem interested in her food. She use to eat lettuce, but now won't touch it. She is eating meal worms and some crickets. She tastes things but won't eat them. She has a warming light and a uv light. She was without crickets for some time. Could that be her problem?

No reptile should be fed lettuce! What kind of lizard is it??? Makes a big difference in diet advice. Bearded dragons should have crickets (properly gutloaded and dusted), superworms, silkworms, phoenix worms, and NEVER mealworms. The "warming" light should be a basking bulb with the basking spot around 100F and measured only with a digital probe thermometer to be accurate. Most lizard species need a reptile UVB bulb, changed every 6 months. Bearded dragons need soaking/bathing weekly, and daily misting to hydrate. No lizard should have loose sand or other such loose substrate, as it is an impaction risk. Many lizards have intestinal parasites. A trip to a reputable reptile vet is needed.
