Noticed something tonight. Since I got him, he's been rubbing his face all over the enclosure against the walls/hides/floor. At first I figured it was because he was about to shed, but he's still doing it quite a lot even after the shed.
Haven't seen any signs of mites or anything, so it's probably stress related. I have three sides of the enclosure covered... May wait two days or so without even going in there to see if it calms him down some more.
Anyway, I've decided that if he gets much thinner (he still looks healthy for now, just a little on the skinny side) I may try a quick brumation. Only if it's absolutely necessary though. I remember a thread about someone trying this for non-eating babies with success... Any advice on how to do it? I've never brumated one for short or long term before, so any details about how to do it would be great.

He's been doing that all along.
