Sounds like a trip to the vet ..
A vet with exotic animal expertise.
Something is up and the way exotics are ...they generally dont show signs of illness unless at deaths door usually. It looks like a vet visit is needed asap!Might just be needing more heat in the new house and on the point of hibernation..lack of vitamins/lighting off a bit etc...
