    You should try tong feeding him while hes in bath time.. just a shallow soak and a snack. but as long as his weight is good give him time.. also could he be getting a draft it could explain the changes, he could be getting hotter or cooler and drier and trying to aestivate.

    I'll try that, should it be a perilyte soak or just a regular soak? And his cage hasn't moved since the day I brought him home so I don't think that could be a cause.

    Just a regular soak.. he ate while in the cage hes in or the ten you started with... ? also do you have seran wrap on the critter keeper to help with the humidity?

    He's eaten the one wax worm while he's been in the new tank. I don't have seran wrap over it, should I just put it on half or...What?

    2/3 i would think... if he was eating good in the other tank why change to the critter keeper?... the set up was fine except for the moss! as long as he was doing good in it...

    He ate!! I soaked him in warm water and like magic he started biting at the slightest movement. He was able to down a pretty big nightcrawler. Thank you sooooo much for your help. Virtual bear hug incoming!! *Bear Hug*

    glad it worked... I would feed him like that.. if he is 2 plus inches every other day or so feeding is good and a soak doesnt hurt either... just feed as much as he wants every two days or so... some days he'll eat lots some he might not want any.. and that way there is no impaction risk.
