Leopard gecko baby only eats crix

[cocogecko]

I want to switch it to eating mealworms but it does not want to. Is it alright to just leave the worms in a bowl until it eats?

Probably. If it gets hungry enough then it will eat. May I ask why you are switching to mealworms though?

We are feeding all of our hatchlings baby crickets. They love them! They don't even pay any attention at all to mealworms b/c they don't move enough. It's like they don't even see them. Perhaps that's why your baby doesn't show much interest? May just need something that actually moves. lol

My gecko used to eat mealworms but then he switched to crickets because of the movements.

Thanks guys, its just that in Malaysia crickets are not sold according to size. If I buy the crickets most of them are too big for my baby gecko

Yeah its like he doesn't even see them, even when i make the worms wriggle around.

Will the sight of another gecko eating mealworms get it interested?
