Another thing to consider is size and type of food. What did the gecko eat before you got him/her? A three week old cricket (3/8") works great with adult leopards. Leopards do like variety, so a varied diet is good. They do develop their favorites, so maybe you should try crickets and see how that goes.
Another factor could be how often you feed. If you are trying to feed too often then they will definitely become picky. Back off a day or two on their feeding schedule
and that usually fixes the problem. Also if there are a lot of uneaten food items you are feeding too much, cut back and go longer between feedings as mentioned. This will keep the feeding response sharp.
If the gecko is in good body condition and health one or more of the above suggestions should work.
Avoid any type of hand feeding unless the gecko is ill. Hand feeding leads to the leopard insisting on that, then you have to give them "tough love" to get them out of that habit! ;) Trust me, I NEVER do this, and every year I get customers telling me that is the only way my leopards will eat at their house! LOL!

My leopard gecko(that wasnt eating, remember?) after two weeks starting eating very well. But it does not eats in the dish, only when I put some mealworms or roaches in front of him. Its still a problem, because I work with consulting, so I travel a lot. Any sugestions?
Thanks
