Baby amyae bad eater
I just got two baby amyae, one will chow down on anything and everything I put in there. The other is more relectant. It has eaten a few mini mealworms and roaches but is not growing as fast as the other one. It is looking a little bit skinny now too and I want to get it eating. I have a dish in there, I put the mini mealworms in there along with small dubia roaches. I have also tried letting the roaches run around the tub. I also tried pulling off the legs of the crickets and putting them in the dish along with letting them run around. Any more tips?

15 qt tub in an open sided rack system. Red repti-sand. Hot spot of 85 degrees and cool side of 70. A few branches for decoration and an upside down mealworm container with a hole cut for a hide. A dish as well that I put the feeders in. Mist every other day or every third day.
I have not tried waxworms, I dont have any really small ones.

Try upping the hot spot to 88-89 that may help. Offer prey in the early evening and keep trying the crickets with no legs. One cricket at a time. Remove the cricket if its still uneaten the next morning. Just keep repeating the process, it will work.

Andrew,
Just a few thoughts with a caveat, my experience is based on geckos in general and over the last 2 yrs with knobbies (limited I know so take it with a grain of salt)
Try feeding a few minutes after a light misting. I've seen this stimulate feeding repeatedly.
Some animals feeding cycles differ. If a feeder is reluctant, observe when they are active, try just after dark, mid way through the night, and just before dusk (try feeding then with each type of feeder if required). I have a patternless N.L.Pilbarensis that just can't seem to properly target even a very slow moving Dubia (he REALLY tries) but when all the lights are off he has no issues.
In my experience their feeding patterns may vary based on who I received them from (I'd assume they had a certain feeding pattern as well, ideally you should ask them what, when, how they fed)) as well as having variation between each animal.
Good Luck and please let us know how it goes!
Chris

Yeah, it started eating great again. I guess it just needed to settle in. Every night i put roaches in and the next morning they are gone.
