That sounds normal, just give him/her time to settle ok. Hope this helps.

Yea make sure you let him/her settle in for atleast a week. Don't handle (S)he or mess with the tank too much.

They sleep a lot in the day. Let him be for a few days, he is stressed out today.
To be sure he is not ill, take his first poop to the nearest vet for a fecal exam. It is the only way you'll see him dozing off and be sure it isn't because of illness...

Depends, some geckos settle in rather quickyl other take a while. I had one start eating the first day and then another one took 3 weeks to eat. An average would be about a week.

The gecko squeaked?? Geckos don't usually squeak...the babies may make a screaming noise and they make a chirping noise but I've never heard of them making a squeaking noise....
