I have a year old leopard gecko who has been a picky eater since I got him about 8 months ago. I had gotten him eating very well by giving him a wax worm followed by meal worms... he would only eat the meal worms after enticing him with wax worms. He then got to the point where he would only eat the wax worms, so now that I am not giving him any he will not eat meal worms. He is still plump and very strong and active so I'm not too worried about him at this point... but it would be nice to get him eating. Should I just keep offering meal worms every other day and hold out till he finally gives in? The tank is kept at about 90 on one side and 80 or so on the other side. The cooler side also has a hide log with moss in it, and he sheds well... he's continued shedding during this fasting period as well.
Thanks!
