Willard has been sleeping during the day more frequently. I started noticing this about 2 weeks ago although it was mostly like an hour or so before he normally fell asleep so I didn't think much of it. His eating habits were regular up until about 3 days ago along with sleeping for over half the day. When he wakes up in the morning he moves around for about 3 hours then just sleeps the rest of the day. This has been going on for about 3 days now. Normally I dont worry too much about the eating habits because when he gets close to a shed he stops eating for about 2-3 days, however now it is accompanied by the sleeping during the day and the reddish/pink urate. The closest rep vet isnt open until monday and im really strapped for cash(im going to take him in regardless), about how much does a normal vet visit usually run you guys and what type of tests do you think I should get done?

im wondering if he just got too used to superworms and wouldn't eat the crickets or if he finally just got hungry. Regardless I hope the meds make him feel better and hopefully I can get him back on a cricket diet. Does anyone know of anything other than crickets I could feed him and a website that is reliable?
