Is there an easy way to teach Carmen to eat worms from a bowl? I tried leaving a bowl for her when I first brought her home last week but she seems to prefer being hand fed with forceps like Duke. Camille eats her worms from a bowl and it would make my life much easier if Carmen would too. Suggestions?

As an aside: part of the reason I hand feed Duke is because he has a little trouble seeing due to his melanin deficiency. Carmen's eyes are even lighter than his, does this have any relevence on the bowl v. hand feeding thing?

Maybe isolate Carmen at feeding time and place her directly in front of the bowl. Are the worms and bowl color similar ?

Yeah actually they were a similar color. Carmen lives alone at the moment to make sure she doesn't have any "germs" so it's not like the other geckos are pestering her.

we had a problem feeding ours waxworms, the worms were the same color as the dish so the Leopard Geckos just looked at it like "hey,,,,whats with the empty bowl" we changed to a dark green dish and have had no problems since
