He's so skinny and underweight! I can't get him to eat on his own, and putting mealworms in front of him while they're squirming doesn't help. He runs away from them or ignores them. Sometimes I can get his attention long enough with a pair of plastic tweezers that I have, and he sometimes gets the worm I'm holding when he attacks them. Yes, he attacks the tweezers, not the food. How did I come to this conclusion? He misses over half the time and doesn't even aim for the worm. I'm going out to buy crickets this weekend in hopes that they'll spark his interest, but until then, it's assist feeding with mealies and giving him ReptaBoost to at least try to make up for some of the calories, vitamins and nutrients he isn't getting.
