Sorry for all these questions..:(
But, how do you get a gecko eating crickets again. Ever since I introduced Leopold to mealworms, that's all he wants to eat. I was trying to give him a variety of everything (Which you should) but now he wont even eat the crickets and they're full of tasty apples, carrots, dry milk and rolled oats. He needs to eat them so he can get all the nutrients he needs.
Ball Python(1.0)=Pennyworth (Normal)
Leopard Gecko(0.1)=Leopold (Normal)
Corn Snake(?)=Ezekial (Amelanistic?)

Re: Sorry for all these questions..:(
Sometimes they just decide they don't like stuff any longer. It's not the end of the world really, just be sure your worms are gutloaded and dusted.
Some people feed nothing but mealworms from day one and it seems to work. I do think variety is best but if they won't eat them there is not much you can do about it.
My guys have mostly given up on crickets and are super worm eaters but every now and again someone will stop eating worms and go back to crickets for a few weeks, then back to the worms. My son's Leo will eat nothing but crickets, won't even look at a worm. They are all different and it is their mission in life to make you nuts...seems like Leopold is well aware of his 'calling' now
