Hi Bruce...shipping in itself is stressful,and all dragons react differently to their new surroundings. Some eat immediately and some won't for a few days. What is the length of the baby? Dragons under 6" are much more frail and unable to take extremes of temps. [ like during shipping] than one that is 6" and up. Do you know what the temps. were[if it was shipped] from the departure to arrival? Another thing,the cage is very large and a baby is more secure in a smaller tank.It may need time simply to adjust. Don't handle it until it feels secure in it's new environment,also covering 3 sides of the aquarium [ if it is in a glass tank] or half of the front of it's cage may help it feel less frightened...especially if there are other animals around.
