I have a pair of AFT's. They never ate mealworms or superworms. How can I make them eat them? mealworms and superworms have been in their bowl for about 2 weeks now. They just eat crickets.

Also my male is not eating anything just his shed. What should I do? This season I have 2 clutches from the female. 1 was not good. the other still in the incubator but a bit molded.

i have an aft male, was the alpha male of 12 in a 30Gallon -.- .... but either way, he's never once ate any:super/meal/wax worms silkies or bettles of any sort. He loves them crickets. he weighs 47Gs i think? and usually eats 9 crickets every other day. for some reason if its low to the ground, he's not interested.

Methods that I have heard for AFT's to eat mealworms is to break one in half and kinda smear it on the geckos mouth and have it lick it off. takes a few days but they will start eating mealworms
