BDs will often go through an acclimation period last a week to 10+ days when rehomed, during this time it is quite common for their appetite to be affected.
Please post pics of your setup, showing the orientation of your lighting in relation to the basking spot & the rest of the enclosure. Also, please give as much info as you can about the setup, such as enclosure size, Substrate, type of thermometers that you use to measure your temps, exactly where you measure them & what the temps are, type, brand & strength of UVB Bulb, etc. This will give the other members a 'feel' for your setup & help to pinpoint if there are any other obvious reasons for this behavior.
Good Luck
