Need more info, like...
Is his tail nice and fat? How big is he and how big was the cricket? What are the temps in his enclosure? etc.

He might still be stressed from the move, some take a week or so to settle in and eat again.

Like someone said above, what are your temps? Hot side? Basking? Cool? Is there enough hides? How many? How big is your tank? Are you handling it a lot? How much?

As much info as possible is needed for us to help you.

Oh and how big is he/she? Is it a hatchling?

i think he is about only 4-5 inches, fairly small.... and he has a UTH and itz a 10 gallon tank, he has to hides, and i handle him sometimes, but there sometimes he doesnt want to be handled s0 i d0nt and there are times where he will climb ont0 my shoulder... he hasnt ate f0r about 3-4 days already.... man... this sucks

Try changing up his food...some times mine will get picky...Mealies are a good choice and if he hasnt eaten for a few days maybe some hi fat hi protien wax worms will do it for the little guy! I have had a few that just decided to quit for a few day but have never come across one that will starve its self!

i dont know man, my leos never liked eating crickets because they ran too fast lol. I used to put the crix in the fridge for an hour or so (slows em down, dont worry they arent dead when they arent moving) then in the tank and the lizard usually went crazy when they started getting warmer and moved slightly.
