Wouldn't you get tired if you had to eat the same thing over and over:main_yes: Try others feeders. Variety is important.

O i do the only thing she was going for were worms, i might have too rotate again, id like too try the roaches i hear so much about, but ill prob pick up some crickets see if shed like some again.

Why would you need a new batch of worms? Their alive right?. Be sure your dusting with suppliments and feeding variety. Mealworms in a bowl in the cage and crickets 2-3 times a week. That of course is just one of many feeding scheduals but give it a try.

Just a thought. It was obvious she wanted to eat yesterday but not what was offered. Once they become more hungry they have no choice but to eat what's available. That makes me feel a bit sad and besides nutrition I feel we should always have variety available. I am speaking in the best interest of your gecko so please don't get offended. Have your tried other healthy low fat insects like phoenix worms and silkworms? I am sure your gecko will be super excited:main_yes:

maybe try cutting the worm and letting your gecko lick the guts/juice.

Cook75 introduced the thought of phoenix worms to me and I bought them within the hour of hearing about them, on the net. From what I read, they're the best possible food based on Ca : P ratios and have so many nutritional benefits that no other has. Not to mention the low fat to high meat ratio as well! I'll update you once they arrive on how my leo does with them. I only speak of this because I was having similar issues with our Leo just licking the mealies and not hunting the crickets offered for a couple days.
