Not eating??

So, I'm sure it's be cause he was moved: I had taken him with me to friends house that I'm staying at till Wednesday so I could take care of him easier.
But, Sunday morning, when I went to feed him, he didn't react AT ALL to the crickets in his take, which is HIGHLY UNUSUAL for him. I took the crickets out after a while, and decided it would be better for him to go back home.
I do have family who know how to take care of him, they just gave their school/ work schedules to work around.
But, being the anxious person I am, I want to get other people's direct opinions.
I only feed him crickets from petco, fed greens and fruit that the dragon can eat/ eats. (Mostly the mustard greens, but sometimes butternut squash). He did a massive poop yesterday (on my pants).
His set up is all the exact way it was BEFORE he was moved at all.
My dad told me he wasn't eating today again, so I'm gonna go home and get the crickets out again.

Hi CM.....it does sound like it's directly related to stress from being moved. That's very common and shouldn't really be a problem. He'll probably start eating again before you know it. :)

Ok. I need to not let this make me worry so much.
I've instructed my family to not put the crickets in if he doesn't get excited at seeing them in the bag, so that they're not pooping all over his tank.

Glad to hear it....he just had to de-stress a little. :)

Indeed. Hopefully, it won't be too bad when I have to move him next year... My fiance (then to be my husband) will be living in Oklahoma, which means I have to take Hiu across a couple states.
I figure I'll set up his new tank (a 75 gal. my fiance managed to snatch for $50 after finding the dimensions!) similar to how he has it now... Just so it's not too different, maybe...
We'll figure something out. But it's good to know about this before hand, before the big, (hopefully) final move.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
