Yoshi has something wrong with him I think. I have done nothing different than I have ever done and for the past 3 weeks he does nothing but hide all day and he must not eat a lot cause I notice none of his food gone. I am just worried sick about him. When I have seen him he looks healthy but he just stays under his hideout. Any ideas I would appreciate.

Thanks,
Ryan

It's very helpful to tell if he's ok if you have a gram scale to check him out with. Chances are, he's just snoozing because it's winter and there's nothing to worry about. If that's the case, then he wouldn't lose any significant weight - if he dropped a lot, then something's wrong. Keep a close eye on him, though, and if you really feel like something's wrong (or he has other symptoms or strange behaviors), and you don't have access to a scale, get him to a vet for a check.
