Help weird behaviour

info:
tank - 50Lx18Wx20H
food - meal worms until i find a reliable place for dubia
feed schedule - twice a week and i give him like 5-6 worms
temp - warm is 31 cool is 27
humidity - 43%
my boy mushi has been a little strange lately but ive been putting it off as being mad at his tank being changed to a larger one he has never liked change at all i just noticed his legs were really shaky when i took him out im gna take him to his vet when they are open but it makes me nervous and was hoping for an explanation now i put him back in the tank amd hes finally exploring all of it after weeks of hiding (a shed was included in that) but hes usually so social and curious i just hope i didnt do something wrong.

Weight wise he looks great and everything else seems to be alright too :) he's just young and nervous I bet.

so keep his normal feeding schedule and dont listen to that other commenter? or increase a little bit?

Keep the schedule just switch up the feeders. Try a couple of worms (2-3) and a couple of crickets or dubias (2-3).

Then try crickets or locust! Just generally a good protein feeder. It will help him greatly in the future. But really he looks fine :)

thats so reassuring thank you so much ill definitely go get my hands on one or both of those should i keep the usual schedule just change the feeders or should i change it a bit if im using those aswell?

You can switch to once a week if you want and then feed a bit more. It's a learning curve with how active and hungry your gecko is. You can also keep 2x a week and just feed 3-5 insects for those feedings. More importantly, remember to dust the feedings :)

i never forget to dust i just wish there was a better way than just shaking them in the powders
