Fussy eater !

[TalkAboutBruno]

So Bruno has been with me for 3 weeks now and has probably had 3 meals. When I have fed him Mealworms he ate them, but he seems to snub the crickets, then won’t eat anything.
I am going to pick up some roaches tomorrow but I’m concerned that the crickets are in the tank for a few days. I have removed dead crickets and also they lose the calcium dusting etc

In my experience it's not a problem for feeders to be around for awhile in a healthy gecko's tank. You're right that once the crickets are there for awhile they groom off the calcium. Hopefully he'll eventually get hungry enough to eat sooner.
