I got a skunk cleaner about two weeks ago and he was super white but today I noticed he’s getting super yellow, im assuming he’s molting but i also feed him foods full of astaxanthin could this also make him yellow?

May be molt or eggs but without pics under white lighting will be impossible to assess
