Not eating

My 2 year old male has been hardly eating for a few months now and I don't think it's brumation. He's not lethargic, he still glass dances and basks. He's no grumpier that usual (he's always a grump). He stopped eating super worms. Doesn't eat greens. And will only eat a few crickets every so often. He did readily eat 3 hornworms today but I can't afford those as a staple. He also isn't pooping right. I don't remember the last normal poop he's done. He won't even do in the bath. I guess if nothing goes in nothing comes out. He's not losing any weight though (visibly, I need to weigh him). I've run out of ideas to help him. His temps are good and so are his bulbs. He goes to sleep as soon as the lights go out ans wakes right up when they come on.

I'd make sure to weigh him as weight loss can be a sign of a problem. If his weight is being maintained, then he's slowed his metabolism for some reason. If he isn't eating, I'm not sure where he's getting his energy from. His behavior isn't consistent with brumation as far as I know. Can you go through your temps and setup for me?

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. 😴
