Awhile ago I posted that my leo was refusing to eat mealworms and only eating if I put wax worms into his dish. I know that wax worms are an unhealthy staple so I only gave him like three every three days while amking sure there were always fresh mealworms available. I tried crickets instead of wax worms and he would only eat one. I again stuck a wax worm in the feed dish after feeding a cricket and he ate it as if he were starving. I'm getting concerned because he refuses to eat anything except wax worms. I even tried putting just crickets or mealworms in his tank for two weeks and he touched nothing. I'm wondering what would be the best course of action to take on getting him to eat other insects. any suggestions are appreciated.
