Once you bring them home its best to leave them alone for at least 7 days.The only time you bother them is to change the water or to clean up poo.Then after the 7 days try to see if it will eat for you.If not leave it alone another 7 days.Its best to get them eating at least 2+ meals consistantly before handling them.Congrats and welcome to the group
