change in enclosure = new environment?

I was wondering, whenever I do up sizing/down sizing the tub size, do I have to always give that one week acclimatizing time?
I am assuming that I have to since his house size is changing, but just wanted to make sure, like not feeding for a week after changing size of the enclosure etc.

Some balls will acclimate quickly, some won't. When I had enough to raise up, I hardly had any issues with refusal to feed. I also transferred the substrate from the smaller tub into the larger with fresh bedding.

I would give at least a few days. When he seems to be back to normal, I would go ahead and feed (unless you have particular feeding day, then I would wait until the next one). I would also say it depends on age of snake and time with you a little. If he's established otherwise, I would not think you would have to wait as long. If established, I would go back to a normal routine of handling, etc. after the first meal in the new home is digested.
