Current Problem
last couple days he has been crawling the screen a lot more than usual and doesnt seem to have his strength. hes been sliding down the screen and have found him in the bottom of his cage a few times last couple days. where as before he usually would cruise across the screen with no problem. he has also slowed down in his movement a little bit also. all his limbs n bones n such appear to be fine, no unusual swelling or abnormal bends or flexes. i think i have a problem with my supplementing. any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
