Hi, and welcome to the forums! It sounds to me like there was a bit of stress from being moved around a lot over the last few weeks. I'd suggest what people should do with any new addition. Give some privacy and monitor from a distance for a week. Keep an eye on things to make sure the eye problem doesn't get worse, and things should get back to normal in a few days. It may not be an issue if he hasn't gone in a few days, because it is likely that he wasn't eating as much during his adventure. Keep an eye on things and hopefully they will get back to normal in a few days. Good luck!

I agree with Decadancin, if you've noticed him eat since he got home then you should see a poop soon

Ty so maybe I shouldnt give him shower right now?and I keep pickin him up to make him move lol guess ill stop doin tht..just worried hes been home for almost a werk now when he came to me he was dark now his colors r back..so Im hopin he was just stressed to the point he will bounce bk..hes startin to come out his cage on his own..ill b happy when I see some poo.lol wish I could add pix but dint know how

So update..bambam finally pooed looked kinda orange a nd white so im guessin he didnt drink much when he was away..hes been movin around more but tht one eye still cloding but still looks the same as in normal he just closes it sometimes..and I notice hes goin thru a shed so msybe is why hes not as active ?

definitely sounds like a bunch of factors. He should settle back in fine. I would maybe mist a little extra for a week to make sure there is plenty drinking opportunity.
