If the dragon is that stressed out in it's new cage, I would recommend putting up paper or newspaper around the outside of the cage.. (if it's glass that is). That way she will not be able to see outside of her cage and the extra security of feeling more confined will help her adjust to her new surroundings.



Make sure you have plenty of bright light... low light will cause dragons not to eat. Sometimes they fail to realize it's eating time and will be lathargic and not responsive to food if light is too low. Also check the heat source to make sure she has a good basking spot and a cool end to get away from.



I would definitely leave her alone completely until she is eating on her own. Once she is doing that, you can try and get her to adjust to you. If she continues to be aggressive towards you.. move slow and be gently. Dragons don't like strange things coming at them and at their heads... they view it as danger.. try and get her to eat her favorite foods out of your hand.. such as wax worms or supers.. offer her a couple out of your hand.. over time she will get used to you and associate you with food which will help her calm down.



goodluck,
