Check the temperature in his enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Offer prey about 2 hours after the heat lamp turns on in the morning. Make sure he is well hydrated by soaking or misting him regularly. It may be a preference. If he is eating the Repashy CGD regularly, don't worry too much about him eating crickets or not.

Juveniles should be fed daily. they can be little eating machines. s long as he is eating, don't worry. Offer crickets and dubia roaches as well as mealworms. Try to get freshly molted mealworms, since they are "softer" and easier for a young gecko to digest. Gut load all prey for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. This can be done by feeding them a high protein baby cereal, tropical fish flakes and fresh fruits/vegetables. You can review gecko care at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/leopardgek.html

Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. If it is too cold, reptiles will not eat or properly digest meals. The crickets pictured may be a bit too big for her. Feed prey no larger than the space between her eyes. You can go down in size, just feed more of them. Gut load crickets for 24 hours prior to feeding and dust regularly with calcium and multivitamin supplements to maximize nutritional value. Give her a few days to acclimate to her new surroundings. Soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte to prevent or treat mild dehydration.
