switching feeders

[froggyfields]

i recently got a baby leo i've been feeding mostly roaches and crickets...i'm wanting to also start him on mealworms. my question is how hard should i expect this process to be and also...should i just put the mealworms in a little dish and he will find them?? he's just so little!

I use the lids from my calcium jars for my babies for a couple of weeks until they're big enough to see over the side of a "real" dish. Mine are ravenous until about 30g and then slow down a bit. Until then they eat anything that moves so introducing new food is no problemo. If you don't feed him for a day and then feed mealworms the next day I would bet money he for sure jumps on them.
