environmrntsl stress.. maybe? too noisy? Is his space comfortably big enough to move about? I dunno.. hope that helps a bit.

he has a lovley cage and lots of room to move about. He is in a low traffic area I have already looked into that but thanks. At the moment I am trying something called reptiboost in his water hope that does something.
