Feeding a white throat baby- w/ no luck

We bought a baby white throat - shipment arrived on Tuesday. We had his tank set up - we put mulch down as the substrate. He is active, drinking water, and looks good. He is about 5 inches from head to base of tail. He has crickets in the tank & we've offered him 2 different sized mealworms...& ground turkey. He won't eat yet and there is no waste from him in the tank. Any helpful suggestions - appreciated. He's in a 40 g breeder w/ a 250 wt. lamp & lots of hiding places - he acts interested in food when you introduce it - but won't eat it.

I wouldn't leave crickets in there all the time. It could be causing unneeded stress and they can eventually harm the animal.

Did you asked what it was eating?

He's probably still in stress mode from shipping and being introduced into a new enviornment, I wouldnt worry about him not eating just yet, however do make you include plenty of tight fitting hiding places in his enclosure, once he becomes more used to the enclosure, he will become more comfortable eating in front of you.
