Veiled constipation

My female veiled is having a hard time passing feces and I caught her today scraping her butt to remove the leftover urate.

Other than that her poop looks good, firmly packed, and nice white urates.

Her diet is primarily crickets (usually non-D3 dusting with multivitamin rapashy on Saturdays and calcium w/D3 every other Sunday) along with green banana roaches and Dubia. She just finished a couple hornworms as well.

I have yet to be able to get her to eat veggies.

Try some softer bodied feeders more often...silkworms, waxworms, butterworms, You could dab some fruit on favorite feeders or put small pieces in the feeder bowl so she starts to get interested if she picks it up on her tongue. Constipation is a sign of mild dehydration. How does she get water and what' your cage humidity level?
 
I use a mister that sprays for 30 seconds every hour. I just increased that yesterday from 30 seconds once every three hours. Humidity is a bit low, ranges from 50-60%

Her urates are nice and white however.
