new clowns don't eat well the first week

so egg crate is the best way to secure?

My clown is bottom sitting a lot now. I think it swallowed a piece of wood from my super soil & gravel. Or its stressed out in the new environment. I might bring it back to the store & get another 1 since I got a 14 day return policy... Clowns are known to sleep on their sides & its considered "norm...

Why do Clowns lay on their sides?
My clown bottom sits and sometimes lays on its side day & night.
Then 40 mins later, it will be moving around normally...
