Juvenile digging and not eating

Hi all, newbie here.
Django is male about 6 months and up until 10ish days ago was eating like a pig. Nothing has changed in set up but he now refuses all food and digs in the corner or hides under his carpet. He's active at certain points of the day and butts the glass to come out. But the rest of the time he hides and sleeps. Last couple of days I've dribbled emeraid into his nose and he's licked it off but turning nose up at all live stuff and veg.

Any suggestions what this could be or do we need a vet?

Thanks a million!

This might not be a problem. It could be just a lull between growth spurts or a seasonal slow down. He is a bit young for a full brumation but this behavior may not indicate a problem. I would keep track of his weight and if that remains pretty stable I wouldn't worry about it. If he is losing weight then that may indicate an underlying health issue.

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.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
