Wait a day or so. It will be a little confused from being moved around and likely will not want to eat anyway.
The other thing will vary based on how much it eats and how often. You will just have to get used to it and learn this part.

I don't really think you read the book... or maybe you just don't understand what you read.

Where did you get a "baby" gecko from? Herps are notoriously picky eaters and baby ones can be worse than the adults. It wouldn't hurt it to let it sit for a day without you bothering it... but it won't hurt it to have the option to eat if it wants to. If it truly is a baby gecko... you don't need to put a lot in there. Perhaps just a few pinhead crickets for starters.

I hope you didn't buy this living creature on a whim and did some research first.
In the meantime, here's a very good reference site - How to care for your pet gecko

Please stick to one thread - maybe you don't like the answers, maybe you don't want to read the information, but posting again doesn't change the facts.

Geckos don't eat just one insect in the wild... instinctively they eat many different kinds. Yours hasn't been "broken in" yet. Try offering several different types... meal worms, pinhead crickets, etc...
You might even want to hold off the vitamin supplement at first as well.
