Mine took 2 weeks before they would eat mealworms out of a bowl. Every other day I would put fresh gutloaded mealworms in the bowl for them. I almost gave up on offering it. Then finally after a couple weeks the bowl started coming up empty. I would add a few and the next day it would be empty again. So just give it sometime to get used to it and see what happens. Some may never get use to eating out of a bowl. My tokays are all C.B. I dont know if that has anything to do with it versus W.C. but to me a hungry tokay will eat reguardless where the food is, if its healthy.
