In early February, I got an adult beautiful leo. She wouldn't eat a first because she was hibernating, but then wouldn't eat because she doesnt eat mealworms. How do I get her to start eating mealworms? Crickets smell bad, and I don't like them, and they are expensive. All my other leos eat mealworms, so its much easier to have everyone on mealworms. How do I get her to switch? I put crickets in, but also I have a bowl of worms, that she doesnt eat. Suggestions...

Get the biggest fattest mealworm you can find. Make sure it tastes good and when shes hungry stick it in front of her. Mine usually pick it off. If she doesn't try pinching the tail(of the mealworm) then drop it in, it should flip put and make a good target. Do this a couple times and just wean her into them.

There is something irresistible about silkworms.
Where other feeders have failed, I have found silkworms to be a welcomed feeder insect for even the most picky eaters.
In my opinion, they are a great staple feeder. They don't smell, they are slow moving, easily digested, high in calcium and vitamins and much, much more...
If you have any questions, let me know.
