I just switched my feeding methods, using mealies instead of crix for my 3 leos. 2 of the leos love them, but the 3rd seems to not eat them? Will she eventually get used to them and start eating them, or will she hold out until it's to late? I'm affraid to find out and have also been putting some crix in their for her. Is this odd that she is the only one that won't eat them? Please let me know.

I have several leopards that will look at me like I am nuts if I offer them mealies. One refuses to eat them, she'll eat superworms and waxies but not mealies. One will eat mealies, once in a while but not on a consistant basis. You may have to feed this one crix. keep offering mealies but be prepared to have to buy crix.

. . . they will not starve to death. Once they get hungry, they will eat the mealworms. It might take awhile, but it will happen.
Some of you might think it's cruel, but I don't give my animals a choice - and I haven't had one starve to death yet! 
Give them time - pick out some lively ones, and eventually, they will eat it.
Good luck
