I think i have spoiled my geckos

[Neill]

I now have crickets/supers/mealies/ and roaches. Now because if this im finding now my geckos are picky eaters. Normally it was just roaches and crickets. Now with the meal worms they just want that dish filled with mealies and nothing else BUT WAIT! I also have some that don't care for meals and want roaches... I now have a whole room of spoiled children and i hate it! I thought in the wild you ate anything that ran by you! Guess if they know they can hold out until the hand of god comes in with a different food type.

the only way to un-spoil them is to offer them only what you want them to eat. "No children have ever starved in the face of food.

I disagree.Some leos will only eat one prey and nothing else.You can withhold food as long as you want some leos may go beyong a certain point where they will starve themselves.You would think a leo would get hungry enough and give in to the food your trying to switch him to.im my experience it doesnt work
