Not eating

[Halle1283]

i went on vacation for 4 days and i fed my leo before i left and forgot to tell someone to feed him for me. I just got back monday and my leo hasnt eaten anything scince i got back, and i gave him crickets right when i got back. the vet thinks its because hes getting lazy because all he eats is meal worms so he is used to not hunting anymore, but he is not eating mealworms anymore. He shedded on tuesday, but he usually eats more when he sheds then when hes not shedding, and he always acts hungry, but now he is just in his hide all day. When i got back his water dish was bone dry, so could that be why?

Edit: I tried to hand feed him, but he seems scared of it and ran and hid in his hide, is he just being scared?

I managed to get him to eat a couple mealworms by hand feeding, but he is hiding from the food again

Keep offering and give him time to adjust to having feeders again.

Maybe it just freaked him out a little not having food for a few days. Give him some time and keep offering and I bet he will be fine.
