You shoudn't put food on his nose as he may inhale it. He is probably eating his food when it is dark and you can't see him. As he is so young it won't seem as if he has eaten anything as they only eat small amounts at first.

first off thanks for recommending us guys.

As for the diet, you want it to be of a milkshake/soup consistancy and not too watery, it should have similar texture.

Now offer it freshly every night (hold off on crickets)

Remember to put the dish back in the same place every night, the gecko will definitely take to the diet in time, just be patient, no gecko i know of have starved themselves, they can smell out food and will go for it.

baby gecko's stomach's are about the size of a pea and does not take much to fill them up.

The diet should be the main thing to feed, crickets as a treat mainly.

hope that helps.
