What else have you been trying to feed him?

Some times they do that. 1 out of my 2 babys did that and she has slowly started to improve. As long as they are pooping and getting their baths to keep them hydrated it should be ok. You can try feeding them something else. We switched to phoenix worms for a bit. Then back to the crickets and she eats alot better now.

only crickets still a baby i heard that mealworms and stuff are real bad for babys and giving them baths will stress them out i give him im pretty sure its a male water by putting it on his nose every 2 days so he gets water i was just getting scared can u really give him worms that young?

Yes he can have worms. Phoenix worms are small and packed with calcium. Mine has been getting medium pw's since I brought him home at 6inches. They are a little expensive but a great feeder.
