Any way to make meal worms more appealing?

I recently bought my first leopard gecko and he's doing well in his new home, he loves crickets and eats them enthusiastically, but he seems completely disinterested in eating mealworms. Is there anything I can do to entice to eat the meal worms?

Not really, other than to try and dangle the worm, or drop the worm in front of the gecko. You could also try gutting the worm a bit to let the gecko taste the guts. That should get any hungry gecko to bite into the mealworms. But some geckos are picky eaters, and prefers a specific feeder type.

Could always try starving him out, assuming he's healthy. Won't take long before anything starts looking good.
