Hi all, i haven't been around in a few months so sorry for just dropping in like this but I had a quick question of sorts.
I went ahead and got my leo one of those lipped feeder bowls today that keep the worms in. I feed supers so I had to find one tall enough to hold em. The issue is that she is kinda spoiled for tong feeding. I use to just drop feed her until I went on vacation for a month and my mother decided that she should tong feed her every day twice. Needless to say I came home to a spoiled fat gecko. She became a stickler for tong feeding and will often let dropped food crawl away.
My question is what do you think the best method for training her to the bowl would be. I tried dangling a worm over it already and she wouldn't go near it. I'm not opposed to starving her out though either. Hopefully she'll just wonder across it during the night and enjoy.
Also, I use Cal+ for her, i have noticed that feeders dusted in the stuff have a short life span. Should I just sprinkle it in the bottom of the bowl or offer her a separate container? She has never been one for licking calcium.
