Hello,
I've had my leos since last tuesday, that didn't feed them. I fed the male two huge crikets by hand wensday night and put 10 meal worms in his feed container but her didn't eat any. Thursday nigth I hand fed him 3 butter worms again he didn't eat any of the meal worms in his container. Last night he didn't eat anything by and and didn't eat any food int he container. Pretty mch about the same thing hanppen with the two females well one readly eats in front of me while the other does eat alittle in front of me but why aren't they eatting from the containers? they are just cut yougurt bowls about .5'' high I don't see the meal wroms move much after they have been inthere ofr awhile.

are the leos babies or full grown? if theyre babies, "huge" crickets are too big for them and they probably wont eat them.

I only fed them to the 35 gram male and he had no problem with them he is abiotu 6' and it not what I will feed him most often.

It's possible that your geckos want to hunt instead of be fed. I only feed my geckos worms by hand if I'm short on crickets. For the most part, they're attracted to the movement and sound of the crickets. You also might want to sprinkle some calcium powder on the worms, because the smell will alert them that there is food.

I've been putting repcal calcium without vit. D3 everyday on there food.
