Shedding / Loss of Appetite

Hey guys,

I was curious as to why my lil guy went from eating 15-20 crix/day (Sometimes more on good days) to maybe 5-8/day. He was still active, happy, loving me (He's attached to his mama already hehe), pooping, etc but his appetite went down quite a bit. For the last 4 days or so he's only eaten 5-8 crix/day plus his greens (Still eating those and well). I noticed over the last week or 2 some shed, but mostly around his head, and tail and I thought that was it (Thinking he did the most of the shedding in the pet store before I took him home). However, when I got up this morning I noticed some more shed around his shoulders/hips. He wouldn't touch his crix at all today. Just looked at them and then looked back up at me like I was crazy.

I took him out and gave him a nice warm soak in the bathroom sink for about 10 minutes. I went downstairs to chef up his usual greens with a treat of Apple in it to entice him to eat something. When I came back up he was running around like crazy - up and down onto/off his basking log, around his stone cave, etc. I got my kids tucked into bed and had a shower myself. I came back in and his entire body is shedding off! It looks awful but it's a good sign isn't it? I was so worried he wasn't getting enough nutrition and wasn't growing. Shedding is a sign of growth isn't it? Here are some pics from tonight (The lighting is very bright, which doesn't show the extent very well, but you'll get the idea)

It's not uncommon for them to go off food or even act grumpy around shed cycles. His appetite will likely pick right back up once the shed is done.

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. 😔
