Awhile ago I posted that my leo was refusing to eat mealworms and only eating if I put wax worms into his dish. I know that wax worms are an unhealthy staple so I only gave him like three every three days while amking sure there were always fresh mealworms available. I tried crickets instead of wax worms and he would only eat one. I again stuck a wax worm in the feed dish after feeding a cricket and he ate it as if he were starving. I'm getting concerned because he refuses to eat anything except wax worms. I even tried putting just crickets or mealworms in his tank for two weeks and he touched nothing. I'm wondering what would be the best course of action to take on getting him to eat other insects. any suggestions are appreciated.

I recommend you to take all the food out of his tank. And only offer him food(tenebrio or crickets) once a day (at night). That way he "wont get used" to have food available all the time.
At last, stop feeding him waxworms! That won't help him 'cause they are addicted to it!
anyway that's just my opinion...
p.s. excuse my english... (im from latin america)

yeah, I know wax worms are addictive but I needed to make sure he would eat something. I've already tried leaving no food in the tank and then feeding him a few crickets at night. On a normal schedule I would feed him an hour after his light goes out, he would eat the mealworms through the night, and the dish would be empty the next day until I fed him again. any other suggestions? thanks for trying though.
