 Cresty not eating

I just picked up an adult, two year old male crested gecko. The previous owner said that he was eating fruit babyfood and crickets. Problem is that he has not eaten in four days when I picked him up. I’ve tried both crickets, babyfood and also the T-Rex CGD. Could it be that he is just stressed from the move. I mist him twice a day and have a small water dish in the cage, the 18 x 18 x 18 Exo-terra is set up with plenty of cover and stuff to climb. Temp is staying at 70 and humidity around 50 to 60 %. Should I be getting worried?

To get mine to eat when i first got them i put the cgd on their nose, they have a natural insticnt to lick it off. Sometimes I would put a little apple sauce in on top of the cgd, so they would be more curious and attracted to their bowl. He could be stressed from the move. You should wait some more before you get worried.
