Feeding problem with Leos

[Washout]

I got 3 leopard geckos about 10 days ago, they were shipped to me overnight. So far the two smaller ones are not eating (4"). To feed them I'm taking them out and feeding them individually putting them in a seperate tupperware container. Is this going to work eventually? Is it because right now they are still stressed or do I need to look at an alternate feeding method?

How are you housing them? Are the temps correct? Nice gradient for them to pick and choose where they want to lay for the rest of the day? If you are housing the larger one with the smaller ones that is not recommended and may be unduly stressing the little ones especially if it is much larger. Also make sure the prey size is correct. Ask the person you got them from what they were being fed. If it continues a vet vist is highly recommended.

They were being fed mealworms before. I'm putting the smaller ones in seperate containers with their own food for awhile. And I know they don't have any diseases or anything since they came from a very good breeder. I'll try seperating the bigger one from the little ones or maybe house them all seperatly for awhile.

I'm trying leaving the little ones alone with food for an hour or two tonight. And the temp is 90 on one end of the tank and 80 on the other end. But really they are not that much smaller.

Edit: haha it worked! Need to leave them alone in the dark for awhile and they gobble the mealworms right up!
