No longer eating mealies?

[Coqui]

My gecko-who is now a year old-used to eat about 20 mealworms a night at times. Now she will turn up her nose at them. She wil only eat about 2-3 large crickets a night.

A bit frustrating considering all the time I spent rasing a mealworm colony.

Is it common for geckos to refuse some items overnight in favor of other feeders?

they slow the eating habits as they get older

My leo, Amber went from being a very non fussy eater when I got her to now being rather picky. With her, it was the other way around. She used to eat crickets, now she only eats mealworms. I put her non fussy eating down to "making up for lost eating", as she probably wasn't fed much in the dreaded pet shop. However, I can understand your frustration, it is very annoying Maybe try some other feeders to gain her interest, and to support a varied diet?

My gecko stopped eating mealworms for 3 weeks and only ate crickets, now he's back to loving mealworms. Who knows.

It happens sometimes. We have some who change their moods.
