I just bought a baby red foot who was nice and active at the show but has become really shy once I got him home. He is eating well enough but always hides when anyone comes near and stays in his shell when handled. Any tips on how I can get him to be more calm, less scared, more active? Maybe a favorite food or change his set up. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jason
