I just purchased two fire skinks, and I'm not sure they're eating enough... This is my first experience with skinks, so I'm unsure of how much they're supposed to be eating in the first place.

I'm offering a variety of worms and some soft fruit, but they never touch the fruit and they gorge on the worms about once every three days. Admittedly, when they do eat, they eat A LOT, but it's only every three days. Should I be concerned? Should I be offering different foods?

They are in a 20 gallon long terrarium with plenty of hides and substrate to burrow in. They drink often. What do you think?
