A: is my leopard gecko afraid?????????????

Well, If it's eating, then that's good, but keeping them apart is a good idea. Gradualy it will gain more confidence, but I would suggest letting some bugs go in the cage and leaving it alone for a day or two..if it goes hungry for a few days, then it will find that it has to catch the food in order to eat. I know it sounds bad, but sometimes you have to let instinct take over
