My Leo, Taz, eats his mealworms great. Have had him for almost a year now. He looks very healthy. However, he does not like to eat anything else that I have offered him. Taz absolutely turns his nose up at Super worms, will eat 2 or 3 crickets and leaves the rest untouched, forget roaches. A lot of you have indicated that mealworms are not suitable as a primary food.
He has let crickets crawl under him and left them untouched even after removing the back legs. I watched him pick up a super worm, then drop it and walk off. Waxworms and silkworms the same. Roaches move so fast and he refuses to pursue.
Even when contained in his feeding bowl, he refuses to eat them. All of his food is dusted with T-Rex Gecko Calcium Plus. He sheds well and has water available at all times as well as a damp hide, warm hide and cool hide. Any ideas how to coax his taste buds to other food sources? Will it harm him not to eat other types of prey?
