dont worry to much. im sure he just needs time to settle in. i would just make sure he is comfortable in his cage and have everything set up right and dont try to handle him for a few days so he can get used to his surroundings. shiping can be very stresful not to mention the fact that he is in a new place with new people. good luck and keep us updted!
