Leopard won't eat crickets :(

[donpmill]

My leopard gecko doesn't seem to want to eat crickets. Most of the time they'll just sit in the cage for a few days then they die or I'll take them out. I dont' want him eating them after that long in case they fed on any feces or anything. Is there any other option for a sufficient diet? I've been feeding him smaller mealworms lately. Just giving him big servings of them. Hoping the hard head of the smaller mealworms won't affect his digestive track or cause any sort of blockage.

Thanks

feeding just mealies its ok as long as you gut load them well and use supplements correctly, try dusting them with calcium every other day and vitamins once a week, my geckos also have a staple diet of mealies so no worriess

Ok, cool. I've been dusting them every other feeding or so. I'll look into supplements. At the pet store this afternoon.

Looks like it's time to start a Dubia colony!
