Hissing Gecko (sorry about long post)

Hi eveyone,last weekend I bought a 5 week old incubated female Leopard Gecko at the Tulsa Reptile Expo.It Hasent eaten much and it hisses at me when I try to touch it.I Feed it 5 mealworms a day(if he wants more than 5 I put more in)and 4 mealworms and a wax worm every other day.The First day was fine he ate well and never showed any signs of aggression but the last few days he has acted strange.I have a 7 month old leopard gecko so I understand basic care and dont think im doing anything wrong.Your input is appreciated.

Thanks

Give him time, as she gets older she will mellow out. At 5 weeks your hand is huge and to them looks like a predator.
