New ball doesn't like his hide

[DeathByDabs]

If he eats I'd say he's fine. If he's refusing to eat he is probably stressed and could use another hide.

Do hides have to be identical? No, but the reason people say that is so that you know he is not choosing one vs the other b/c it feels more secure just because it looks similar enough to you doesn't mean anything. That doesn't mean different hides are bad, it's just good to remove one variable sometimes.

Thank you, I'm waiting til next weekend to feed him as I just got him on sat and they (irresponsible dealers or breeders) didn't have a feed or shed schedule. Also couldn't tell me if it takes f/t yet. All I got was they feed them on weekends and they didn't know if he had eaten yet. Since there was no belly lump I assume no, but I want to give him time to adjust before feeding. Also make sure he's hungry so better chances he takes my f/t offering.

Also I just got him another similar hide, different colors but I don't think he can see color.... Correct me if I'm wrong. Its now on the hot side. I'll post pics soon.
