We picked “Saffy” (short for sapphire) up last Friday (today is Monday) so she’s only been home for a few days. Yesterday I got her to eat some calcium supplemented crickets (about 10) with tongs and she spent a lot of time exploring her tank. She is offered fresh veg daily. I do know she is very stressed right now being in a new environment, she has the black lines on her beard and belly. Well now she has been sleeping since about 3pm yesterday I’m reading it could be the stress of coming to a new home. She opens her eyes and locks her gaze onto us from her sleeping cave when we approach so she isn’t “lethargic”. She does NOT want to be touched - we were refraining from handling her at all to let her adjust but I had to move her a bit yesterday so that I could catch some stray crickets that got away. She was very unhappy about that Crazy how fast their beard turns black !!
So my question is— how long before she starts to wake up and get acclimated to her environment? Weeks? Months? How can we help her transition? Just want her to be happy, comfortable and healthy I’ve done loads of research and we even got a book, but it seems there is so much different information out there one resource will recommend something and the other advises against it.
