MIne was the same way when I got it.... He would hide a lot and didn't eat for almost two weeks. Then after that he adjusted and became active and started eating a ton. Give your Mali time to acclimate to the new environment, and in the mean time do not disturb him by holding him or looking at him. Just let him be and in a in a week or two he'll come around just like mine. The only time he could see you is when you put food inside the cage, and if he is not eating you should put a shallow bowl of water inside the cage for him to drink because Uro get the water they need from the veggies and greens they eat, but yours is not eating so leave the a water bowl in there for him incase he is dehydrated or thirsty. I hope I put your mine at ease!
