So I got banjo from L3reptile about 3 weeks ago and was having eye probs the next day then he started sleeping a lot thru the day I changed around my entire setup to everything he properly needs thru this site and finally a week ago I took him to the vet... Gave me dewormer to give for 4 days, a calcium liquid to give him and also that carnivore care stuff u mix with water and for about 4 days he hasn't eaten any food not interested at all he has 3 feeder cups, crickets, dubias, superworms ... Nothing... He's been more active but keeps eyes closed a lot still... Poo looks good and white parts white... Any tips? He's very skinny rib cage shows and hip bone
 
Try this.

What I do is get tweezers and put the cricket on it and kind of move it around on a branch so he will get attracted to it. And they really dont a lot the first week so just maybe wait.
