baby Draco has gone back to not eating since hes been moved to the dining room, he hardly even moves and wont touch a single cricket :( ...guessing he just needs time to resettle in? How long should I wait before handling? Ive been patting him but not picking him up, I dont want to add stess but I also dont want to let him go to long without handling. Thoughts?

I would let him be for 2-3 days until he calms down. Put a shirt or something you have worn/slept with in there so he stays familiar with your scent. You can take him out at hing while he's sleeping to help with bonding but put him back in the same spot. Keep feeding him as usual and I'm pretty sure his appetite will return.

Yoda went 2 weeks and only ate about 15 crickets in total... ( this from a beardie that was eating 15 medium, twice a day plus salad.. he lost 11 gram.. and then................he shed. Guess what? He's back to eating.
If Draco is hungry enough, he will eat. Make sure you still offer even though he isn't eating. He is going to be a little pissed because you have changed everything.. (room) give him a day or 2
