So, we let him sit in his cage with proper heat (halogen bulb and a UVB) for about four days now. Minimal handling, a dish of regular (not giant) meal worms available and water. We recently added in veggies (mustard greens and acorn squash) diced up really small. He didn't go for either, which I expected from a baby on the greens; however I'm concerned about the worms not being touched. He's currently in a 40 gallon breeder with substrate (tile) and a basking platform. We're working on making a "shelving system" with ramp.
I was feeding all my other cricket eaters, and thought why not, so I let him go at a cricket. He went for it, but it seemed like he got...discouraged? And went to the corner of the tank and "pouted" away from the cricket. I removed it and let him sit again for a couple days (still not having touched veggies or worm dish). We went with small, larger than pinhead crickets, and put them in one at a time in a 6 quart tub with our little Twitch and he licked up about four before he was "done". Is there anything I can do to make feedings more...consistent?
