Missing a day will not harm it. (late...but for future reference).

I doubt a bosc would EVER even look at salad.
Pure carnivores. Smile

You will not manage to get it to eat salad, little tip if you run out of bugs, they eat boiled cold egg whites, some will take a bananna ( mine will not touch it ). They will also eat scraps of meat uncooked such as chicken, mince, beef etc. Another option is a small portion of meaty cat food although use this sparingly. Hope this helps in future Wink
