The temperature in the room is between 80-84 degrees during the day, and drops to the mid 70s at night. For the last 5 days the humidity has been around 65-75 percent. Before that is was generally right around 65 percent, until we had a dry spell and it dropped drastically. He is still eating a little. At this point he seems more interested in wax worms that crickets. He is also spending a lot of time with his eyes closed. He is not sleeping a ton, he just has his eyes closed. That made me think stress, but he shows no other signs of stress and he had been thriving in his current conditions for over a month before in signs of him falling ill occurred. My only thought is that there was a day a couple weeks ago when it was incredibly hot and dry and the window in their room ended up open and was left open all night. So, he spent about 8 hours sitting 4 feet away from an open window. The temps weren't low that night. It was just dry. After that night seems to be when the dehydration started setting in.

Today I am starting him on some pedialyte.

He is about 6 months old. If you nave any thoughts other than dehydration, I would love to hear them.
