Last night about an hour before lights out Dex ate 2 crickets and 2 roaches before he lost interest. When I checked on him before we went to bed he was stretched out in his favorite resting spot asleep. For the last couple of days he's been waiting for his bugs near the front doors of his cage. Per usual I turned on his lights then went and made my coffee. Finished a cup and then went to see if he was awake enough for breakfast. He wasn't in his usual spot, but sitting on top of his log. I got his first cricket ready and dumped it in his tank, but he didn't jump down to catch it. He eyed it for a minute, so he saw it, but didn't seem to want it. I tried next with a tiny roach, same results. I tried to entice by holding them in my fingers. He watched them, but didn't try to eat them. I see 2 little tiny poops that weren't there last night when I turned off his lights at 7 and they look normal: brown and white and fairly solid. I don't think he's impacted. His temperatures are reading fine and haven't changed. He's not listless. Aside from not eating he's acting normal. He's alert and reacting to me talking. He's so young and still growing that his belly even after he eats doesn't look fat enough, I think. Looking at his belly right now he doesn't look full. I'm panicking because I feel he can't afford not to eat he's so tiny. I'm going to try again in a little bit, but wasn't sure if this was normal. Should I be concerned? Will they suddenly not want to eat for a bit?
