My nine month old has stopped eating. He is acting fine and he pooped yesterday but he hasn't shown interest in his veggies or his roaches for, today's the third day. Should I be worried?

If he's acting normally and isn't losing weight he is probably fine. He is probably getting to full size and his metabolism is slowing so he's not as hungry as in the past. I'd make salads available to him and one bug meal daily and let him take what he needs. Their appetites tend to be cyclical so I'd imagine his appetite will return to some extent after a while. Watch out for lethargic behavior or weight loss which could indicate a problem though.

Thanks so much. I felt like that was happening but confirmation is always good! He's about 16 inches from head to tail; I feel like that's kind of small but maybe he'll have a growth spurt soon. He hasn't shedded in a while. But he is acting normal and scurrying around when I take him out of his tank. Eyes look good and he's pretty alert. Thanks again!

He still may have a spurt or two left. They can continue growing up to about two years old, it just slows significantly. Things happen much more gradually from here on out.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
