Baby leopard gecko won't eat!! Please help

[andy11121988]

Hello, I have a baby leopard gecko that will not eat I have tried baby crickets,mealworms,and roaches won't eat any on them and yes they were all live and kicking so to say.... She is an albino she is beautiful and I feel bad I can't get her to eat any thing,... She is in a 5 gal. Tank with a moist hide and a under tank heat pad for heat she has been in this tank for about 2 weeks prior to this tank she was in my "big" tank with my other leopard geckos (40 gal breeder) read that she was in too big of a cage and was probaly scared of the bigger gekos and the amount of room,... So I got the much smaller set up,... I was also told to soak her in warm water for 2 hours to make sure she was not dehydrated so I di that 2 times now she still won't eat,... There is always mealworms out for her but she never eats them,.. I had my local pet store order me some wax worms because I have not tried those yet,.. I just need help I don't want her to die any tips/advice would be awesome!!!

Thanks

Yes give us that info. But from what you are telling me, it sounds like the gecko is in shock.
1. Cage too small
2. Handling too often
3. Submerging in warm water (I know I wouldn't like it)
4. Heat gradient is non existent.
5. Need hot and cool side hide (Conflicting with 1&4)
6. Need slurry
