New Leo not eateing much

[TnC_Chams]

I got him and her at a show, she is a big eater while we have only seen him eat two quarter size crix. the standard 1/4 in out area is about ----- that big and sometimes smaller depending on wether or not they just came in. the larger leo is the female. i tried hand feeding he only licked the crix and meal worms i tried to offer. is there anything else i could try?

are the close enough in size to be housed together i was told they were by the breeder and in the 2 days i have had them she has grown...

If they're kept together, she might be keeping him from eating. She's much bigger than he is, so bullying could definitely be a major factor.

He could also just not want to eat crix. Some geckos are picky like that. Try another feeder and see how he reacts.

Sat. they were alot closer in size. I havent seen her pay him any interest. when i feed she could care less about him, i have tried crix,and meal worms...what are my other options?

OK well I wouldn't house them together but then Agni I don't house any together. You could prob keep them together if you have a big enough viv for 2 of each hide(2warm, 2moist, and 2cool). If you got them only 2 days ago he probably hasn't settled in all the way. As for food you could try super worms, roaches, silk worms, and wax worms (only as a treat or in die or need situation) that I can think of. Did you buy them from the same person? If not they should be quarantined for a month be for you put them together just in case one of them is sick or has parasites or something. Hope this helps
