All geckos with appatite issues?

This past week I noticed that all 5 of my guys have been eatting off and on again. The temps in here are usually pretty stable with all of their cages being at about 81, and the 20 gal tank being at 90. (Minus this morning, walked in and it was super cold due to the drastic temp change overnight, needless to say, I cranked the heat right away.) I just find it a little odd, because generally they all have really healthy appatites. Even they newest two who've only been with me a week were doing really good up until 2 days ago.

any suggestions?

If they're breeding age sometimes that's what's on their minds and the food consumption goes way down. This can happen even if they're not in breeding groups and is more likely if they can smell each other. The tanks in the 80's are a little cool also. I think 90's is better.

Yeah, I'm planning on getting them another 20 gallon tank to split, but right now cash is kind of tight. The two oldest I had in set ups like that and they did fine. It just seems odd that all of them seem to be acting like this all at once. Hell, my hubby even hand one of them out on the floor trying to coax him into eatting... the only thing he got was getting pooped on. (I almost died laughing.) Which that in itself was very odd, cause he's never done that.
