Nolan stopped eating!

So I use to house my two leos in a smaller tank with paper towel substrate. I upgraded them the week before last to a 20 gal long with a tile floor and added two more hides, bigger water dish and a bigger worm dish. The other worm dish I had, they would on occasion find a way to tip it over...not really sure how, but now I use a thick glass one.

Lily loves crickets and rarely do I see her eat a meal/super worm. My other, Nolan, won't eat the crickets but has always eaten the meal/super worms. Since two days after the cage change, Nolan has not eaten but one meal worm. I tried super worms also and getting smaller of each. I put ten in the dish and swap them out every day with "fresh" new ones so they don't die in the dish.

Nolan still has a healthy look and a fat tail and I see him walk around the viv and I believe he's defecating because there will be multiple poo/urates in the morning.

Lily is still eating normally. BTW, they are both female.

Any ideas? Could she be stressed with the viv upgrade? The temps are spot on, I am religious about the temps...same goes for my snakes. When I have her out, she acts normal...energetic still. OH...and she has not shed in three weeks...Lily did her shed as normal. No stuck shed on her....I don't know what else I should be looking for.

Tried feeding by hand tonight. She ate two small super worms. Guess she's just getting REALLY lazy.

Well, female leos often stop eating when they're ovulating (you said "him" but you also said they're females, so I'm assuming Nolan's a girl?).
A cage change also tends to stress out geckos, though some will show it more than others.
Some geckos get tired of certain feeders, or of eating out of a dish, some just decide to stop/slow down their eating for a month for no reason. :main_rolleyes: If she seems healthy and active aside from the reduced appetite, I'd wait a little longer before fretting.
