Question how do you feed 2 leopard gecko's?

Hi everyone,

I just received 2 female juvi's today about 8 months old. I'm starting to feed them meal worms but how do you feed your multiple gecko mealworms?

Do you get a seperate dishes for them?
Do they eat out of 1 dish?
Do you let the mealworms loose in the tank?

I had to actually feed with tongs both of them b/c it seemed 1 of them was still shy and didn't want to come out of it's hide.

Substrate = slate tile
Tank temp hotside (92F-96F)
1 calcium dish will be in there at all times

You could either continue to use tongs or provide 2 food dishes (as far from each other as possible), if they eat from the same dish they could grab the same mealie and fight over it, or bite each other by mistake when excited about food, so, separate them and give each one a food dish, make sure they see it, and they´ll stay concentrated in their dish!

i will keep doing the tongs idea. ONLY because they are soo small still. when they become alittle bit older you defenitly should stop that. you dont want them to get use to you feeding them directly because then there hunting skills will be gone forever and you would have to hand feed them for the rest of there life.
