I let mine settle in for a week before feeding and then I feed only once a week from then on. Did I read it right that you've had him two days and fed him twice... Is he alive and just not moving?! If so, he's probably a bit full!! |

Is it still alert and tongue flicking? If so then i'd say it's just digesting it's meal. They tend not to be too active when they've got a meal inside them(depending on the size of the meal).
Also, when you say "I fed my little guy for the second time since i got him two days ago" you're saying that you've fed it twice in two days? You shouldnt really do that. Yes you can get away with it if the meals offered aren't too big, but generally it's best that you wait until one meal has digested before another is offered.
