Maybe your food is too large, a good rule is for food to be the size of the distance between their 2 eyes. I just hatched some Ciliatus 2 weeks ago and have mostly been feeding them Peach babyfood w/ Calcium mixed in. Also I hope your misting him daily/what substrate are yopu useing?also leave all plants in the tank as they gather moisture off your sprays, gecko's arnt that bad at hunting

well the roaches are definetly not too big...i mist it once to twice a day...i am not using any substrate.....it just doesnt seem to be taking any interest in food though i noticed one roach missing, it could be on one of my artificial vines and i missed it...cuz it seems like if it was going to eat, it would eat more than one roach a week.
