It sounds like he's not in very bad shape right now but if you can see him losing weight you might want to have a vet check him out. The obvious problems might be that he wasn't quarantined when he should have been and picked up a bug from another critter. He could be stressed by his new environment, too bright, too small, too crowded, to smelly, too cold, doesn't like the substrate, not enough hides, etc. If he prefers crickets I would say that's OK. How long/old is he? Best of luck and keep us posted on your progress.
