Difficult to tell about the timing of everything here BUT its generally accepted that you should leave them for 48 hours AFTER a feed before handling them - so they can digest properly . Most say to leave them totally alone for a week or 10 days when you first get them and then try a feed ...


As I say it's difficult to see the timing of your circumstances

I've heard the same thing about using the black paper on the side of the enclosure and holding off on handling them for at least a week after introducing them to their new enclosure. What's interesting is my breeder mentioned trying to feed them within a day of receiving them to prevent all the time that goes by where they are considering they are in a new environment. Basically it helps reduce their stress levels. Thought that was interesting because it was different then everything that Ive been reading on here.
