I was thinking a bit of moisture with his doodie, but twice his body size? I'd thik about a vet visit. Also, if he's sick, I wouldn't be thinking of a non-mandatory substrate change yet. No extra stress is a good thing. If he is dehydrated, I'd address that quickly before he gets worse and spirals down hill. Try a soak in warm water (maybe he'll drink), entice eating with "treats" such as mealworms or bee pollen. And if really necessary, I have notes I put together on feeding a baby food/pedialyte mixture through a syringe (no needle, of coarse) to rehydrate.



Definately address the health first, though.
