Mealworms stay .... not necessarily "dormant" in the fridge, but that is how one normally stores them so they grow very slow and do not turn into beetles. I leave a small bunch out at a time with some carrots to gut load them with nutrients and then feed them dusted.
I don't have any suggestions as what to buy online, and the Calcium I have has D3 in it, and its pretty controversial, but in the end there is no proof that either or will hurt them any which way but they do need at least a source of D3 somewhere.
I have the Fluker's line, I think repashy makes some, and I am sure there are many more. I would look on some leopard gecko breeder sites such as designer gecko, and see if they have any info on what they recommend. If you find a good choice, let me know
And about the live, leos just like the movement. Kinda like some snakes like live food. Except you can't really convert a leo lol. They are a little more ... picky? I dunno.
I actually have one that isn't feeding right now and I'm not sure what is wrong, but she is very thin and I'm worried so I've been feeding her yogurt. They will lick things off your finger, but that's about it.
