Feeding mostly at night made an obvious difference for mine within a week.

The drooling is the tell. Good that you went when you did rather than waiting another day.

The back curving is the one everybody shows in photos without realising.

Cutting hard shelled insects open with scissors is a good safety detail.

The low light thing is interesting, I had not thought about it making a difference.

The 80/15/5 ratio is useful, I had never seen it written down anywhere.

Mine did this after switching to a scented brand. Back to unscented and it cleared in two days.

Four months and nothing to cut sounds perfectly normal for a wheel user.

Lighter colour worries me more than the softness, honestly. I would call.

Same here. As long as they are not curling or catching on fabric he is fine.

The squeaking on every rotation is such a good tell. Mine stopped the moment I changed wheels.

The stopping every few seconds was the giveaway for me too. Nobody mentions that one.
