So Taz my lovely leopard gecko doesn't eat her meal worms when I feed them to her. Is this normal or okay? Is there anything else I should give her to eat so she's not chowing down on crickets every night?

You can try phoenix worms, hornworms, super worms, or waxworms to try and get her to eat a variety. You can get any of these at Rainbow Mealworms. I got my phoenix worms from there and my leos and crestie love them! Hopefully you can find some more stuff that your leo will eat. Are the mealworms inactive? Maybe their lack of movement is what prevents her from eating them. She needs the hunt. I would try to get 100 phoenix worms because they move around a lot and they capture my geckos' attentions. Good luck with everything!

Also, I would like to ask, she's still eating crickets, correct?

Well they are live I put them in at night an woke up and they were all there. They moved around and were still alive and moving she just had no interest in them

Taz was probably fed on crickets when she was even younger than she is now, and if a gecko is started on ceickets they generally won't eat mealworms. But if they are started on mealworms they usually will eat anything. If you want something that will get her attention, is easier to breed than most feeders, and arguably pretty much the best feeder nutrition wise, you can try Dubai roaches.
