Feeding adult Leo schedule

[bman123]

I got a male adult raptor Leo today and was wondering what you feed your adults and how often. The guy i got him from fed him out of a little bowl. He would put some like 8 small mealworms in the bowl everyday and that's all he ate was mealworms. He is a bit thin and I want to get him eating right.

I bought a dozen large crickets and a dozen large superworms. I placed a superworm in the tank floor on newspaper substrate. He showed no interest at all. So I'm wondering how often they eat as adults and how much.

I just got him so I'm sure he won't eat for a couple of days probably but want to know that when he starts to eat how much to give him. Compared to other adult Leo pics I have seen he looks skinny. He is long about 8 inches maybe but his tail base is small not fat like the pics I normally see.

He has only eaten mealworms the small ones so I think I may have a problem getting him to eat superworms and crickets. What do you guys think?
I'm gonna take some pics of him tonight and i will post them late tonight or tomorrow.

The breeder said he would leave food in the bowl overnight and I don't like the idea of that at all.
I have his temps at 91 hot side and 82 cool side if that matters . He has a water bowl and a calcium bowl plus his little food bowl in the tank. I will post pics of the whole setup and of him tonight hopefully.

Sorry he has a humid hide with damp spaghnum moss in it and some dumb lil castle thing also.

id raise the temps on the warm side, if possible.
i feed my adults every other day,
you probably wont have a problem switching him to supers, theyre more active than mealworms so it will catch his interest, same for crickets.
good luck!

Actually, I think 91 as a warm side is a good temperature. Mine ranges from 88 to 91.

My leopard gecko doesn't follow a schedule. I tried to get him on a "superworm every other day" schedule, but he wouldn't follow. I noticed that he only comes out of his hide and "hunts" around the tank when he's hungry. So, I just set my "schedule" to feeding my leo only when he roams around the tank.

He ate on Thursday so he should eat today I'm hoping. He's never hunt before for food so I'm gonna try and stick 2 large crickets in there and see if he shows interest in them or not. He's still sleeping so i gotta wait for him to get up.
On Thursday he ate 3 superworms and a large cricket. I hand fed him all that tho, I don't know if he will hunt but I will try.
