Question Rio seems upset....

He has only been home 3 days now but today he has been calling, over and over for someone or something, not screaming just calling - loudly.

I was able to track down the person that had him before the woman I got him from (that only had him one night), she had him about 3 years and had him with a female.

So, from what I can gather, taken from mate, new home, new home again, new name and calling for his mate or previous mom maybe.

I also thought since everyone else in the house is being converted to Harrison's that I would try him too, he may nibble a few but for the most part, refuses, should I maybe hold off on the conversion for him until he settles in more??

I want to do everyting right with him, he is my first Zon.

Thanks everybody!

This is just from my personal experience. I would go ahead and try to convert him now, instead of waiting until he is settled. It is kinda taking advantage of the honeymoon period. That has always worked for me. Add some Harrison's to whatever ke is eating now and he will keep trying it. Try the usual process of adding more and more of the Harrison's over the next few weeks and cutting back on the other mix
