He's plenty hydrated from the sound of it. No need to spray more than twice a day, otherwise you could be getting the humidity too high. The baths help, so between that and once or twice a day spraying he should be fine.

He isn't if he's stopped drinking or only drinks every few days. Thus why I spray him so often I never let loose water just sit on his waells or flooring.

An if his cool side is getting around 74.6 f in the morning an 80 mid day without the extra light is that okay? I moved the second light to his warm side just to help hold more heat on that side. his cool side stays almost a constant 79.2 - 80.4 with the light over there. Thanks :D

75-80*F is perfect for the cool side. I think that's a good idea, moving the light over.

Since you've had him a month and he's not eating much, I think it would be a good idea to get a fecal checked for parasites.

Hard to say if there would be enough of a parasite count to show symptoms at 2-3 months old, since the life cycles of most parasites are 8-14 weeks, but I agree it is better to be safe and have that checked. There are parasites that can cause poor appetite, although usually that would be accompanied by runny or smelly poo.

Unfortunately, there have been some babies that have had parasites and the only symptoms that were noticed were loss of appetite and slightly lower activity level. Since you've had the baby for a month or so and it has settled in, the coccidia level should be normal by now unless other parasites are involved.

It's definitely something to rule out when there is lack of appetite. I'd like to see what a change in feeders would do, too.

Honestly, I think that would get him interested in eating. By the looks of the pictures, he is eating enough to maintain himself. We have 6 babies between the ages of 2 months - 4 months old right now, and two of them eat very little crickets, but the rest gobble them up. If I feed small/baby roaches and extra small silkworms they eat like crazy, they just barely eat crickets, so it is possible for it to be the feeder.

I know exactly what you mean, I just got an order of 500 crickets for Angie and now she isn't eating as many as she was, she wants the horns & silkies that are quite small yet. She did eat some small dubias today though. They get tired of the same foods, just like we do.

Got the phoenix worms today, he ate 6 medium considering their size it looked like a good meal. He attacked them as soon as they moved unlike his lack of interest in crickets.

I just ordered and got 100 silkworms in a small size..they range from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch...so they should be fine if you get the small. My beardie loves the small but hates the medium ones. he wont touch them.

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.
