Are you *sure* he's not eating?? sometimes it looks like they arent touching the food, but they really are. Has he gotten significantly skinnier in a week, or is this a progressive thing that's been happening? What kind of set-up do you have him in, how long have you had him, how old/big is he?
I'll try to help as much as i can, but it'll be easier if i know some specifics

He is about a year old and I've had him since he was 6weeks. I know hes not eating I feed him crickets and the same 6 have been in there since i fed him last. I talked to someone today told me my temps were to cold so he might be hibernating. So today I bought him and my baby gecko the rephasy crested gecko diet. and also bought another heater.

what are the old temps and new temps...what kind of heat/light? is it a boy or girl?

The old temps are day 70-75 and night 65. His heat is from a 60w ceramic bulb, and I just bought an undertank heater. And it is a male. Also his tank was drying out real quick so I bought moss to help.

...what are the new temps? you dont want to get them too hot. Room temps should be just fine unless you keep your house irregularly cold. I dont have heat lamps or UTH's on any of my cresteds. you do want to keep the humidity up. The moss will help, and mist the cage once or twice a day, too. Hopefully they'll eat the repashy food, it's the best you can give them. I hope everything works out for him! (can you post pics??)

I just got home from class I'll set up the new heater in the morning but its 70 in there now. It is to cold in my room to keep it at room temp.

This is Crusty he's the skinny one.

it looked like he ate a little of it this morning. And he seems to be a lot more active now. The only thing that is worrying me now is he can't climb. He just slides right off of the trees. and cant even start to climb the glass.
