Some ideas

--getting ready to shed?
--sick of the same old food every day -try giving a treat?
--changes in temperatures/humidity?
--any other new pets in the house?
--cage need cleaning?
--check for any sores on feet or tail?
--check for any odd swellings on the body

Has anything in the cage changed? new plant?

Has anything within his eye sight changed?

Are there brighter colors near him?

Has the temp changed where you are - it is getting colder out there.

I have had mine go dark for a week if I even turn his Ficus. He wants his branches where they belong adn his stuff where he left it.

I dont know anything else to offer
