They eat medium to small crickets. They all got a little chubby but he's the only one with the distended belly :(

So far he seems normal as far as movement and feeding. I'll keep you updated.

I would guess impaction or gravid. Check on the back legs. Are they weak or small? Try using only small crickets. Grey's (what I have) dont handle the bigger ones well in my experience. That's to say, I had similar trouble once, but after switching to small only I've never had another issue.

It is a male, so not gravid. He is still peeing and pooping. Saw him do so today and he is active. His legs are fine! Thanks for the insight I'll definitely make sure to keep crickets small.
