dr. Gonzo can't find his mealies

[mscully]

I put some meal worms in a dish at night for it to eat. I wake up the next day and their still in the dish so I took the out and he ate 5 and he's a baby. He eats crickets at night no problem but I think he just doesn't know the mealies are in the dish. Should I just buy crickets or feed him meal worms in the morning or what should I do?

Sometimes it takes a while to get geckos switched over to mealworms if they're used to crickets. Try using a different bowl and stop offering crickets. While he's watching drop the mealies into the dish so he knows they're there. When he's hungry enough he should eat them.

For hatchling bowls I use the bottom of paper Dixie cups (the bathroom kind). That way you can just cut them as tall or short as you need them. Plus, they're white so the worms are pretty easy to see I guess.
