New BD baby

[Whitenerj]

I just picked up my first BD yesterday. He is a 5 week old German giant citrus mix. He spent most of the day basking today but came down to potty earlier and hang out on the cooler side a short bit. He only ate 4 Dubia roaches this morning and maybe 3 bites of salad. He would not eat this afternoon. He prefers to run and jump on his basking platform. I know he is probably a little stressed from relocating.i sprayed some leaves in the tank with water and he was lapping it up big time. Anything else I can do to get him to eat or should I just wait?

Here is his setup as well.

Reptisun 10.0
Basking spot hitting 105.
Cool side hitting 78.

Update this morning. He will not eat any roaches or salad. Hopefully he will eat soon. Getting worried a little.

Having a few roaches right up front is a good sign. Don't worry too much if he is off food for a while as long as he remains alert and active. Keep offering food but don't be forceful with it. He'll dig in when he's ready. Your setup is good.

Hi, if you don't mind me asking what is the blue dot on his back?

It's fingernail polish. The breeder put it on him to show he's a boy.
