It can be stressful for a puppy to move into a new home, so they can react by not eating or being vey active. Keep offering Ozzie food, and if he still isn't eating in 24 hours, then I would have him seen by a vet for a health check. You can try to tempt him to eat with some boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts. Congrats on your new puppy, I hope he settles in soon!
