hates phoenix worms????

[miranda2]

Okay so I ordered 300 extra small reptiworms(phoenix worms) and she wont touch them. I tried dropping a couple in and she looks at them but doesnt even attempt to eat them.So I tried dropping in a dubia nymph and she promptly chowed it down ignoring the reptiworm.I then tried dropping a very small mealie on top of the reptiworm and she ate the mealworm but still wouldnt touch the reptiworm(and they were wiggling and crawling around).
(also I dont feed mealworms but thought id try and trick her)

So what is up with that, I thought they were supposed to love these things.What do I do with 300 of them now? Is there a way to get her eating them? She even eats greens. Anyway I gave in and let her have her crickets(she will be two weeks old tomorrow)

They can have preferences. Tater didn't care for the Phoenix worms either.

What are the mealworms for? Can you feed the reptiworms to that?

Well I got him to eat a couple of the reptiworms today.I waited to feed him for a bit and he was hungry.
The mealies are for leopard geckos, and yes the leos can eat them but the reptiworms are the extra smalls so its kind of a waste to feed them to the leos till the worms grow bigger. Not sure if I can keep them alive that long.
