Maybe dont feed in the enclosure, whether it be a rub or a viv. |

For the time being, put him bakc in the tub you had him in, leave him for a few weeks and see how he reacts then.
It sounds like he is scared, and fear can cause him to be aggressive, take the open space away and take the fear away.
Its a natural instict, fear of being in the 'open' and available to predators, hence the defensive aggression. |

Just sounds like he isn't comfortable in his new surroundings for the change in his character to perfectly match the change in habitat. Put him back in his familiar tub for a week or so, see if he calms back down, then you'll know for sure. |

At a guess I would say the viv is too big? my Charlie is now nearing 2foot and is in a 1ft by half foot faun and he is happy in there. As far as I have picked up in my few short months of having corns is they don't like space. I got that from this site actually as I brought him a 3foot viv... to learn it would be miles too big so had to downsize drasticly. Could you not section off half the viv so he only has use of the half see if that helps? I have 2 corns and intend on building a partition in the 3foot viv whilst they are still small when they outgrown the fauns they are in now. |
