Calcium with d3

I took him to the vet bc he hasn't been eating as much as he normally does. Usually when I put food in the enclosure he would run to it. Now I put it in there and he will let it sit for days. Maybe have 1 a day of the worms. The criskets I had already decreased to 3 to 4 to try to keep a better count. I thought maybe he was going through a hunger stirke. At this point Idk.

Ok take him off food for 2 days... Then put in 5 feeders and see what he does. Once he is in the larger cage it will help a lot right now he is just stationary with little room to move around. The good news is he is by no means underweight lol So him not eating is perfectly ok right now. They need a lot while going through their growth period but in reality once they hit adulthood it is not abnormal for a male to only get fed 2 days a week of 3 feeders and they maintain weight without getting obese.

Thank you. I will remove the remaining worms and roaches now. He just ate a nice size horn worm. I really appreciate all your insight, advice, and help. I'll follow up in a few days if that's ok?

Thank you again. I put 6 crickets in the other day and he ate 4 right away! I'm going to continue to monitor his eating. Hopefully whatever was going on is resolved. Next task will be the new enclosure next week!
