: Well the folds mean he is a bit skinny, but Sleestack has them now too. He has always been on the thin side as opposed to a real husky thing, but lately he doesn't eat very much (due to breeding season)

: If you've had a fecal check done and it was fine (recently) then he's probably fine. Give him more food...as much as he'll eat. Sounds like he's going through a big growth spurt.

Could also be a little dehydrated. It's hard to keep the humidity up in the winter. Try misting more often and leaving the food a little wetter then normal. Also may have to put him in the tub once a day to soak. That usually does it for my girls.
