hi everyone, i have a leopard gecko that is about 9 months old. i started to get more geckos and now i have a rack system. but since this was my first gecko, i have it in a 20 L tank. when i first got the gecko i tired to feed it out of a worm dish, but it would not eat and i got worryed so i have been hand feeding it for mostly his whole life. now that i have a rack system and about 3 other geckos it is a big task to hand feed this one gecko. is there anyway i can train the gecko to eat out of a food dish? i scared of her losing weight to try it. anyone have any tips? please help. Another thing is that this one gecko is not a big eater. i dont know why. i have tired cix, mealworms, superworms, and B.roaches. but she only eats sometimes. and i dont know why. anyone got any ideas?

Use a clear food dish, I made one from a clear cup, cut of part of the top, and used a lighter to smooth out the top. At first the gecko would attack the dish but quickly figured out to go over the top. Good Luck

Hey all. So its been a few days since my post and still the same this g. My gecko still does not want to eat from a dish. As a matter of fact she does not want to eat at all. She is not in shed. All the temps are perfect. But;) I tired mealworms. Cix. Roachs and superworms
She just lets everything walk in front of her. Is there anything that I do..
