Help! Baby Leos Seem Uninterested in Food

[helpbabyleo]

I'm very nervous so apologies if I ramble. I've gotten two young leos - maybe only four inches long from a pet shop owner who really seems to know his thing. They are unsexed. I only saw them eat one mealworm before (dusted in calcium powder ofc), but they need to eat 5 or 6 a day. I'm more worried about the smaller one, he's very active, even in the daytime. Very gently, I put my hand in and a mealworm inside. The small guy comes up to me, licks the mealworm, then walks past like he doesn't want to eat it. I've put some mealworms in a food bowl but he seems uninterested as well.
Also, can someone tell me their very detailed step-by-step process of feeding their leo? Thanks, thanks again.

I have had to jumpstart young leopard geckos before. If the gecko will let you hold it, hold it gently in your hand and push a mealworm or other feeder at its mouth. It will probably bite the feeder. Note that this is not force feeding; you're not forcing open the mouth and shoving it in, rather, you're helping it to focus on the food and assisting. If this doesn't work, you can squish a feeder and rub some of the guts on its mouth. Some of my leopard gecko hatchlings turned out not to be interested in mealworms and got a lot more mileage out of crickets. You can try that as well if you want to go that route.
