another new chameleon owner

[Cromag09]

Hi, I just got my first veiled chameleon today! He arived this morning from ups,He is alert and looks healthy! Should I be concerned if he does not eat the first day or two?

I got my baby male a few weeks ago (he was 3 month old when I got him) and he did not eat on the first day even though I offered him crickets. I was very worried but he started eating from the second day. I've read many times that some don't eat for several days after arrival, so I wouldn't worry! But I also read to offer some food items an hour after arrival.

Ok thank you! I will try not to worry! I did offer the food about an hour after
