Exclamation Gecko not eating - 16-04-2011, 12:48 PM

hi all i have bought a gecko 3 weeks ago and when i first got charlie he/she settled in and was eating well he/she ate 4 meal worms on the second night then i about 2 the 3rd night and then it seems to have stopped so i tried crickets and he ate 1 of the 3 i put in. every night after i have put 3 in his/her bowl and on a couple of occasions one has gone missing but i feel they have just escaped the feeding dish.
my temp on the hot end starts at about 92 the substrate is repti clay but i feed from a bowl and cut off the crickets rear legs so they are not supposed to escape what should i do? he or she never comes out of his/her cave so i can look at him/her should i disturb him/her as i have not trained him/her to be handled yet. i am worrying myself to distraction please could someone help!!!
