I just built a new enclosure for my B&W and put him in it, he has multiple hiding spots, including his old favorite one (a plate I put in his old enclosure as a basking spot) and has been in the new enclosure for around 4-5 hours and has not stopped roaming around and looking like he wants out. He is trying to climb up the walls, walking around really fast and just not settling down at all. I understand its a new environment for him and its natural for him to feel a little unsafe, but he never did that when I first brought him home or when I put him in a new tank previously.
I am just wondering if anyone else has had issues with their tegus just not settling into their new homes?
Could it just be to much has changed all at once? I changed substrate as he was eating the cypris mulch. Could the difference in texture of the new substrate be adding to the problem?
Any suggestions or hints to making it better for the little guy?
Thanks!
