Hello, I have a ~8 month old and starting about a month ago his appetite has changed a bit. Every morning I give him a bowl of crickets and a salad, and then another bowl of crickets in the noon/afternoon. Usually he devours his morning crickets and then he will eat the second time less enthusiastically which was normal for him, but recently he keeps eating less and less and for the past 2 days now he hasn't eaten any crickets or salad so I've been giving him baby food twice a day. He has a T5 HO reptisun bulb and last time I measured his basking spot temp it was around 115. He gets depressed in his cage (doesn't move a lot and is dark in color) so myself and my parents take him out of his cage multiple times a day and he gets outside time too. He seems himself whenever I take him out and let him play. Also, for the past 6 months ive had him he tends to want to go to bed super early like as early as 4pm, even if it is light outside. Another note, his forearms seem a tiny bit swollen, is what I just described similar to the symptoms of gout? I will post a pic later today.
