How long until I should worry about a new baby not eating?

How long until I should worry about a new baby not eating?

Hello all!

I brought home my first baby gargoyle yesterday, it’s two months old and still very small.

I know all reptiles can be fussy with appetite until they get settled in their new homes, but because it’s so tiny I’d love to know a few things:

- what time span should I officially start to be worried if it won’t take food

- any tips/tricks to tell if it possibly ate anything overnight

I’m not super worried yet because again, it’s only been a day. I’ll switch out the flavour of food daily to see if it’s just a preference thing (currently feeding Arcadia gecko paste mix)

Any advice welcome, picture taken is for size reference of the little bean as I was moving him to his tank. Thanks!
