Most geckos will not eat something that does not move. I have seen vibrating dishes which may help. Don't know what else to tell you though.

You can never have just one gecko. Actually it is almost impossible to have two

Hello,

I got my gecko to try it and she hated it! I usually feed her stuff by hand, and she'll eat anything i shake in front of her nose with tweezers, dead or alive. I tried that leopard gecko dried flies stuff, and she took it in her mouth, chomped down a few times then started shaking her head and spitting them out everywhere. so yeah, i dont use it anymore But all geckos are different, and im not saying all leos will dislike them, but thats how i got her to try them. Good luck!

Don't you have any meal worms or anything? When can you get live food again? A day w/o food isn't a big problem. How long are you looking at being w/o live food?
