my male cham is acting funny

[luvmychams]

we have 2 veiled chams, the male is about 1 1/2 yrs and the female is about a year. when we first got them, we were new to chams but got alot of helpful info and they have been doing well. We recently got them together and think she might be pregnant but not sure yet. but for the last couple weeks, the male has been running and hiding when we go to get him which he never did before, and sits on the bottom of the cage alot. He doesn't eat nearly as much as she does normally - but seems to be eating even less lately and staying dark in color even when he's under the lights. He also has had, and so has she a couple times, white around his nose which we thought was from dusting the crickets. The floor of the cage was wet alot and then we found out that that could be bad - so could they have some sort of respritory infection? I keep them in seperate cages and I don't think they can see each other. I just don't know why the sudden change or what I should be looking for...any help?
