I have had my juvenile leopard gecko for about a month now and it's really difficult to get him to eat. He didn't eat the first week I had him but I kinda expected that because he was getting used to his new environment. After the first week he started eating pretty regularly but not as much as he should, I would leave mealworms in a bowl in his cage and he would eat them at night. I could also get him to eat from tweezers. Now he is starting to not eat again. He wont eat out of the bowl anymore, and I can only get him to eat SOMETIMES by putting the mealworm in front of him with tweezers. Most of the time he just looks away when I put a mealworm in front of him. I'm really starting to worry about him! I know that my temperatures and everything are fine, I just don't know why he won't eat! Also he doesn't come out much at night, he spends most of the night in one of the hides. If you guys have any information, tips, or advice I would really appreciate it!

Has he pooped? Might not be hungery
I consider mine as "hungery" after they poo.
If he is pooping he is eating. And if he pooped then his belly isn't full anymore

Don't count worms count turds

Yeah he's been pooping normally, but sometimes he will go like 2 or 3 days without eating!
