A little worried

[Zi9720]

he every one new to the thread and was wondering if I'm just going crazy or is something wrong? i got a super giant tremper about a month ago he didn't eat for about a week and i read that putting turkey baby for on his mouth and letting him lick it would jump start him well it kind of did he doesn't eat any kind of worms from meal to super just crickets. he doesn't come out of his hides at all he will stick his head out and look around if he sees me he goes back in. and he only comes out to poop. any advice would be great thanks guys

If you'd like him to be more friendly, you will need to try to tame him. When you are in and out of his cage for cleaning and feeding, try letting him smell your hand so that he can get used to it. If you handle him for short periods of time every other day or so, he should eventually get used to you and being handled.

Do you still feed him the Turkey baby food?

I would try taming him so that he doesn't seem to be so afraid of human interaction

My advice is to put like 1 cricket in and keep it in there untill it's gone then put another in.My baby gecko wouldn't eat for 2 weeks,and today and yesterday he a 6 crickets yesterday and 4 today!We will give him more tonight.

The same thing happened when I first got my gecko.
As long as he poops, then that fine, and he will eventually eat.
What I did was placing a piece of paper in front of his cage( to prevent him eating sand), then put half-dead mealworm on it( to prevent mealworm from running away to fast), then he ate it.
Have to admit I was very worry until I saw him first eat his food, nowadays I have to feed him this way because I think he get used to this. LOL
