He will be extremely stressed more than likely. If you don't have a new enclosure now, I advise that you let him settle in his old one since he is familiar with it and will be very scared anyway. Give him some fake plants (that do not come apart...check the leaves) to hide in. You can also use newspaper/papertowels as a substrate..it's not pretty but easy to clean and doesn't harbor bacteria. I would just keep him in a quiet room without a lot of commotion..don't bother him too much the first week, but let him see you and realize you are bringing him good things to eat! He should be very happy to get a salad filled with yummy new foods (and a few fruit treats :) The stress from change may make him resistant to eating a lot, but just be patient. Take a fresh stool sample to the vet to check for parasites.

Good luck and keep us posted.
