Any suggestions? I prefer to feed mealworms but I have some picky guys who aren't eating, ive only had them a couple hours tho, but my paternless gobbled 4 up... that good for a month old?

if u just got them a couple hours ago they probably wont eat much, in my experience they must settle in for at least a few days before eating anything...but if urs ate 4 thats great...if you supply crickets or mealworms they will most likely readily accept either if they feel they need food but ive also noticed that if u have a hard time feeding mealworms to someone they might take up crickets no problem...they seem to like the motion when u drop about 6 of them in their enclosure, i believe its just something about the insects jumping all over that triggers a kind of feeding frenzy...hope this helps, and i think i speak for everyone else when i say that we'd like to see some pics when u get em

sure I will upload some pics tonight or tomorrow... They are still kinda shy so may be hard to get some good pictures.

Fortunately only one leo now isn't taking mealworms, the other ate about 3... I fed them by dropping them near them, since I don't think they figured out the dish yet, one guy was looking through the dish trying to get a mealie but didn't figure it out he had to climb on top, might be a little too tall for them to comfortably feed out of it... Gonna go buy some little dishs for them tomorrow.

Any other suggestions? One leo isn't eating yet. He started to eat one mealie but spit him out, must be picky
