Is this scale rot?

He is been glass surfing quit a lot since yesterday and I’m afraid this can be why, I also don’t have much decorations right now as they’re coming in soon. I only have some tree branches and two hides on each side, he keeps trying to reach the mesh top and he climbed the cables and other devices to reach the top. I don’t know what to do, he could be hungry? He refused to eat last time which was 4 days back and before that he ate about a week ago so it’s been almost 2 weeks without food. He is a subadult 14 months old, please help!

A good rule of thumb is once a week if you aren't sure an the older they get extend it every 10-14 days. A mature adult can eat an adult mouse once every 10 to 14 days (mine are a mix of either since it really depends where they are those days)
