Eddie is in a screened cage roughly 3 feet tall, 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep that sits on a desk in front of a window with some oak limbs (that I soaked in a dilute bleach solution and then soaked in a to kill any bugs that were living in them)that reach nearly to the ceiling. He used to the moment that you opened the door he would head up to the tallest point of his limbs where he would hang out nearly all day.
All of this started 3 weeks ago, except the nails. His cage used to be lower and away from the window and he was not very happy there so he would climb on the screen and rub his nose quite a bit.
I have fed almost only crickets although today I bought him some other stuff to see if that would make him happy. One thing that I just thought of, I bought some calcium powder to put on the crickets he was not pleased with that at all. He did not touch any of the crickets that I put that powder on after the first one and it was after that that his appetite hit rock bottom.
Thank you so much for responding I am really worried about him. I have gotten pretty attached to him and I want to do whatever i can to ensure his good health.
