I bought a small green pacman 3 days ago and so far it has not eaten.
When I bought it, it was in an extremely small plastic cage with only moss. I took it home and put it in a bigger cage with some coconut fiber and water. It stayed in the water for about 24 hours until I lightly nudged it and it hopped out and peed. It seems to be shedding and will not move at all unless I try to feed it or come in contact with it. It is not moving from its spot at all. It is not burrowing.
Is it just adjusting or should I be concerned?
*The picture was before the water bowl, its cage is all coco fiber with a water bowl*
