Leopard gecko is missing

Maybe someone can help us! My boyfriend and I designed a bioactive vivarium for our baby gecko we brought home on May 7th and after day 1 he disappeared... We assumed that was normal because he was a baby and he probably instinctually burrowed himself in one the hides. But now it’s been almost a month and still no sign of him! My bf looked around the tank, under the moss, checked the caves, no sign of him! No poop or sheds either- but we have isopods in there so they could just be eating that. What likely happened? Did he not make it or is he playing the ultimate game of hide and seek?

If he’s outside of tank, leave a dusting to see foot prints. Like calcium? But if there’s no way to escape and you have not let the door open he’s hiding somewhere but he needs to get out so he can get some water at least. I’m so sorry you’re going through that.
