Question
hi Tracie, My question is how do i get my leopard gecko to eat his food out of a little dish?I'm trying to raise up some crickets, and in the mean time i bought him freeze dried crickets. the problem is, he only goes after his food if it's moving in some way.What can i doto get him to eat them out of his food dish?

Answer
Hello Jay,

That is a great question.
Leopard geckos do not always go after food if it is not moving.  Are you not able to feed him any crickets or worms?
You can use worms & just place them in a bowl.  He should eat worms out of a bowl for you.
There is a diet called the Repashy gecko diet which he may like.  A lot of people use that to help supplement the diets, also.

How old is he?  Does he drink out of a water bowl?
