as u know i have got my geckos.
One is fine with eating the crickets but 1 isn't so good. I feed them seperately so they get even amounts but one dosen't seem to eat the crickets. I am really worried. I am going out to get some more crickets later and was wondering whether to get some meal worms aswell to feed her on them. Also some wax worms to get some fat into her as she is really small. Thanks

mine are not intersted in mealies wot so ever.

I feed about 6 waxies a week to mine as a treat and also to fatten them up abit. 2-3 every 3-4 days.
they are very good for sick geckos but dont over do it cos they are very fattening and too many is bad for the gecko.
plus dont want them to refuse everything else and just eat waxies.

left her in a tub with 5 crickets today and didn't bother with one. I'll try again tonight with them and also get some mealies just in case.

I wouldn't worry about feeding wax worms to younger leopard geckos as they are growing fast anyway & would be unlikely to get fat like an adult. Not all Leos seem to like crickets. Try locusts, roaches or calci grubs.

calcigrubs from here;

http://www.thelivefoodwarehouse.co.uk/acatalog/Calcium_Worm.html


roaches cheaper on ebay (dubias or lobsters) - look up about care, etc first to decide what are best for you.
