It needs time to settle in. We usually say 7 to 10 days. After that start handling it a bit for a few minutes at a time. During the time its settling in only do what is necessary in and around the tank.
On feeding day leave it alone and let it have a day or two after feeding to digest in peace.
It may also help to have plants, driftwood, etc in the cage to help it feel secure.
