He may be tired/week from 3 days of nothing but carrots.... Id try to plan your purchase of feeders a bit better so you don't have any gaps in his in diet.
I know ive read someplace, "watch for UV overexposure" however I cant seem to find it anyplace now for a reference. I do recall trying to search online after reading it what EXACTLY I should watch for but was never able to find any explanation....

Jordan-

Update us on...
ESU makes a "Fresh Air Habitat" 12x16x20 all screen except bottom is plastic. Has been good for our little guy, although we will be making him a new "grownup cage" soon. I got the esu one at my local pet shop, but have seen them on ebay as well.
