ok, so this is normal for him to eat less when getting used to his place?

There's also a possibility he doesn't feel well. It's just a chance he's still adjusting.

Your humidity is too low and that temperature range is a little too high, which could explain inactivity😕
Please give this thread below a good read, if I remember correctly, you didn’t have the right equipment?

Young red foot/ cherryhead set up

Hello there! In this thread I’m going to include some information on an effective example of a starter enclosure for a red foot/cherry head😊 Care advice for these guys is painfully behind, fb pages, YouTube, pet stores, they’re all repeating the same outdated advice, this forum is made of...

No problem! Let us know if you have further questions/ if you want to double check equipment before buying, sometimes labels can be misleading.

As for age, it’s impossible to know exactly without a hatch date, but if we could get an up to date photo, we can try and make an educated guess🙂
