Please repost this in a regular thread in the leo subforum.

Have you tried crickets with their back legs amputated in a feeding dish? The food you mention is NOT something leos eat.

U know, Elizabeth Freer is right. Baby food and fruits and veggies are not what they eat. leos are insectivores not herbivores or omnivores for your information, u should feed your leo crickets with repti-calcium powder or mealworms inside a food dish with repti-calcium powder inside because the powder doenst stick well with mealworms. u dont have to take off the back legs of the cricket like elizabeth said, in your position it's probably best for the crickets to roam around for the leo to see them (even though im new to this website i did a lot of research just to try to force my parents to help me buy one, but it failed XD)

Answer these questions.

Does your gecko have any hiding spots?

Whats the temp at day and night?

How much do you handle your gecko?

How much meal worms do you put inside when you feed it?

Have you made any changes to the geckos home?

Write any info that you think is also important.
