my older leo would only ate about three mealies and four crickets last week and for a couple of days wouldnt eat at all. (she usally eats that a day) and i bout wax worms beacause my silk worms havent come in yet. but she is eating too much of them but they love them. my older girl ate three. and my little guy(little over 2 inches) ate 2!?!? it was almost as big as his back. it is getting me worried because i no its bad for them but thats all they like. i hope they like the silkies. but is there ne suggestions? thanks

p.s.(dont ever order silk maulberry farms.i ordered them almost a week ago andd they said it would be there in 2 days )

And kids will only eat icecream if you let them. Keep trying them on the crickets and meal worms. The silk worms too once they arrive. Limit the wax worms as they are like gecko candy. Also make sure the prey is of the appropriate size. Not every gecko is going to like crickets, or mealies, or silk worms, but they should like at least one or more of them. They are probably just holding out for wax worms. Don't give in! Yes, I know it is hard, but be strong and feed them crickets and mealies.
