I got my leopard gecko on November 30 and he was an amazing eater. He ate from the Saturday I got him all the way till the next Sunday. Then he started eating less and less. Last week he didn't eat at all. I weighed him 2 weeks ago on Friday. He weighed 23 grams. Last week I weighed him on Friday and he weighed 22 grams. So, I'm not very worried because he still has a fat tail and only lost one gram. Does it have to do something with winter? The surface temp in his tank is always about 87-91 so I know that isn't a problem. He still acts healthy and is doing that gloping thing (I dont know what it is called) lol. He is still very alert and always hears when I open his tank unlike my snakes who don't care. I think I'm just worrying for nothing but I just want to me sure lol

Nah, if he looks and acts normal, and isn't losing much weight, I'd say he's just on a hunger strike. If he loses another few grams, that would be cause for concern, in my opinion.

Mine slow down eating a lot this time of year. Some of my females completely stop when they're ovulating. I'd say as long as he doesn't drop 10g he's okay
