It's that time of year where these kinds of posts start showing up.

The days are getting shorter and average temperatures are decreasing. If you're not careful it can sneak up on you and cause the problem you describe.

Try increasing the temperatures (85 to 100 is a good range for leopards). Make sure it has a warm/humid place that it can retreat to if it chooses. Increase the soakings to every day or every other day then See what happens.

If there is no results in a day or 2, you might consider a vet visit or have a vet look a a fecal sample to check for parasites.
