Moved to new encolsure, still stressed

[jason221]

Hey guys,

It's been about a week and I've got the hides and he's beginning to mellow out, but he still won't go into the hides. Is this normal?

I know I just need to be patient..... but he gets a little skinnier everyday, and I worry about him. Someone mentioned a paper ball trick that you can do where you crumple up paper balls and put them in his enclosure? Is this a good idea.

That can work. You crumple up a bunch of pages of newspaper and fill up the entire cage with them. However, it will be tougher to keep an eye on him. You can try that method, leave him alone for at least a week, and then try feeding again.

What kind of hides are in the enclosure? How big is the enclosure? What is the warm side temperature, cool side temperature, ambient (air) temperature, and humidity? Pictures can always help give us a better idea of what you're working with.
