Feeding help?

[ReptileRy]

hey everyone so i got my first leo yesterday and i had a question about feeding, hes drinking out of the dish fine but i have never seen him eat yet. but i have about 13 mealworms in the dish, should i have more?

Is he a baby? adult?
If it has only been a day, I wouldn't worry.
Give him some time to settle in and he should start eating.

baby/juvie just got him yesterday, but should i add more to his dish? there are only like 13 in there

No need to add more if he isnt eating the ones in there already. I would leave just 3 or so until you observe feeding before adding more.

Since he is in a new home - best to give him some time to get used to his surroundings. He is more apt to eat once more comfortable. Many Gecko's dont feed right away once in a new home.

Also - make sure he has correct temp variables in him Terrarium as if he doesnt - this will lead to loss of appetite past the issue of getting comfortable with his new surroundings.

Just my 2 cents
