so my AFT will not eat worms, i've tried meal worms, medium supers, and wax worms, i've kept a couple wax worms in a small dish in the cage for 3 days now and he won't take interest, my cup of phoenix worms should arrive later today so maybe ill see if he likes those but i was wondering what a good trick to getting him to eat worms is? i haven't given him any crickets because i want him to get onto these worms, he will lick the guts when i squish a wax worm and hand feed him but he won't go after the worms

Feed him crickets, that's what I hear they like the most.

I really hope he responds to phoenix worms so you dont waste them. If those dont work try silkworms?

I know that if they're hungry they'll eat.
^ lol yeah i guess it seems pretty simple huh? well, i put some phoenix worms in a bowl for him over night and i woke up this morning and three out the 5 i put in were eaten....soooo i guess he likes phoenix worms 
i thought i had a crazy gecko because he had no interest in wax worms, glad to have found something

Fatties are notorious for being picky eaters. For Leo's, a Leo never died due to a bowl full of mealworms. Fatties are not like that. The reason I don't have them is because I hate crickets and I know that with fatties you always have to have some crickets around
