You need to allow the frill to acclimate to its new surroundings. if you notice the front entrance to the cage; somtimes this will freak them out if they are not used to it. Try coming from below the animal. Also put your hand in the cage but dont go to close to the animals, stay there a couple of minutes, then get closer. Do this until it will go onto your hand. Obviosuly if it is freaked t wont eat so this will be out of the question. i have animals that i have had for a couple of years that still wont eat in front of me. Sounds dumb but try putting a smaller fake lizard in/ inn viewing distance of the cage. Most likely your animal was the aggressor, dominant. food for thought; good luck.
