Hi, I'm new here so bear with me.
I got a leopard gecko about a week ago. It's about 3 months old and about 5-6 inches. When I first got him, he ate crickets normally and mealworms if I dropped it in front of him. However lately he just doesn't seem to have any interest in eating. I put crickets in his cage and I see my leopard gecko just ignore them. The crickets will even run across him and he'll just flinch away from it instead of just eating it. Sometimes, he'll see a cricket and then not just hunt after it. He also ignores mealworms I drop in front of him so I put them in a bowl and although I never see him eating them, there are always a few missing when I check hours later.
His hide on the warm side is 90-94 F, the tank is 10 gallons, I used a carpet substrate and he does drink water. I don't know what to do. Please help.
