I don't really understand. You're trying to feed him mealworms and he's in his hide 'digging'? I have those hides too, and I've never seen them do that. Are you putting the worms in there with him?

What's on the bottom of your tank? Paper towels? Carpet?

I really don't know why he would do that, unless you had some type of substrate like dirt and he was trying to dig something up.

digging is a natural behaviour for leos. mine used to do it all the time when they were younger and kept on sand. they seemed to enjoy it.
if their not comfortable they would dig until they were lol. one of my females would make a pile of sand and lay draped over it haha
now their older and less accurate with their hunting i keep them on carpet, so they dig in their moss instead lol
