Any tips - Leo reluctant to eat

[Phillthebass]

Hi all, I think the route of my problem is just a case of my Leo selling into his new habitat but do far the only thing he has eaten is wax worms (which for obvious reasons I don't want to keep feeding him that)

I have tried locust and mealworms but he seems uninterested. Any ideas or is it just a case of being patient.

His warm side is 33-35c and cold side 22-24c so I'm happy with the temps. He has 3 hides and seems active and happy

They can hold out for awhile before they get comfortable and they can hold out also if they're hoping for waxworms. Leopard geckos can go for an amazing amount of time without eating. I recommend you stop the waxworms and try a variety of other feeders. Just be patient and eventually it will eat.

Skin has dulled a bit today. Looks like Lemmy might be going into shed. Will give it time.

Yup Lemmy shed last night. Might explain the lack of interest in food

Bless him. All tuckered out after feeding on crickets now he's sleeping like this in a nice warm spot

Glad he's eating again.

It's been a bit slow, he is eating and poo seems normal just doesn't seem to be eating enough as his tail is still a bit on the small side.

Looks OK to me. Just keep offering.

Thanks he seems more settled in now and loves climbing and exploring his viv. Think I'm still a bit nervous with the whole husbandry thing

It's natural to be nervous. It's good to care.
Just keep at it and things should be fine.
