Hello Im new here and new to leopard geckos today is the 4th day I had my gecko. (Last night being his 3 night here) yesterday he did its shedding and he shed completely fine but since i got him he hasnt ate a thing yet i have only have tried to feed it mealworms tho i put 6 mealworms in Its food/calcium dish it hasnt ate any of them. I have even tried using tongs and hold the worm in front of him. I dont know if i should be worried ad much ad i am or what please give me some info. Any questions you have please ask.

4 days is still early. Give him a week. Dont make too much noise or movement around the tank, keep a low stress environment.

katies right, moving is stressful your new gecko has a new home, smells, sounds and sights to get use to not to mention a new owner.
some geckos settle in quicker then others, you just have to be patient
he wil eat when hes feels its safe to do so or gets hungry enough
