Nothing to worry about. They can take upto 2 weeks to properly settle in and start eating.

Everything will be fine in a few days. Just have faith, I know its a tough waiting period

I bought my gecko home at half 9 this morning, he dashed straight behind a piece of wood, where theres artifical leaves and hasnt moved an inch since. lol could be along wait.

i got my leopard gecko 2 weeks ago & he still spends the majority of his time in his hide, he only comes out at night when im asleep! lol he still hasnt eaten & like you i was worried but many people on here have told me not to worry as it can take a few weeks for them to settle

Although it can take a few weeks for a gecko to settle in,are you having any contact at all? I tend to clean out and feed my lot around the same time of day and whilst I do all this I chat away as well. My thoughts are basically routine and familiar noises help an animal. I also have led lights in my vivs (as I'm up most nights) to watch them hunt and wander. Good luck with your new baby and keep us updated hunny
