When I adopted my leopard gecko, since he was so small, I kept him in a very tiny enclosure. Its one fo those plastic box to keep salad or something with a tiny 3 by 4'' UTH. He was actually eatting.

Then I thought thats way too small, so I moved him to a a box about 15 gallon. Now he hasn't eatten in 2 days. I regret moving him..

Sometimes it takes them a few days to adjust. Give him some time and he should come around.

Also try feeding him in his old container. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Yeah it takes some time for them to get readjusted. Try not to handle as much until it settles in.

when u change his enviroment he getts stressed to some degree.Let him get real hungry and then try feeding him.I kinda disagree moving him to his old container just to eat.Then u get stuck with having to do it alll the time.

He'll be alright. I just moved one of mine from a 10 gallon to a 20 long and it took her about 4 days to start eating and roam around comfortably again.

I actually put his old container inside the 15 gallon. I cut a hole in it and turned it into a humid hide lol. Hopefully he'll eat, well see.
