If it was just today, I wouldn't really worry about it. Monitor his intake over the next couple of days.

Oh, ok. How are his droppings looking?

Good the white part is white so by that I know that he is hydrated
And the brown part is normal I don't know what I can say about it
So I guess it's ok.

Reggies roughly 3_4 months and he's a pig. Its still ok to get him fluffy, and bulk feed. But this guy can eat. I recently had to buy smaller crikets, so he tinks he's gonna get even more extras. But here's a good thing, he does excersise!

I have a 5 month old Nosy X and he eats about 4-6 crickets. Now days he is eating about 4 a day. I think its because of the winter cold.

They dont necessarily eat (or need) the same amount every day. If the temps are cooler and he just ate a lot of fatty food (mealworms, supers) then perhaps he just doesnt need much today
