Hey guys! So I posted on my progression thread that I upgraded jumbi to a 60qt (35x18.75x7). I've left him alone pretty much all day yesterday since he moved and all day today until I got back home from work tonight.
I checked on him tonight since his head was hanging out of his hide like normal, and I guess when I opened the tub it startled him a little.
I lifted his hide and saw something that I have never really witnessed with him before. He was in a ball. lol. He was so scared and he wouldn't let me touch him and he even hissed a little bit.
Now I know change can certainly stress them out, but it was just such odd behavior coming from him. In the year that I have had him, he has always been so lax. So I guess my question is, is it just the big change? Any thoughts on going back to the smaller 28qt? Or should I just leave him be for the next couple days to adjust? Tomorrow's feed day so I was just gonna leave him either way.
Just wanted thoughts on this and if any of you more experienced keepers have experienced this, please do share!
