My 9-week-old puppy won't eat and sleeps a lot. Is this normal?

Question

I got my puppy yesterday. He is 9 weeks old. He will not eat and spits out treats. He is constantly sleeping. Is this normal? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 9 days old | 20 lbs

He might just be stressed from the change in environment but, if it continues, it would be best to have a vet examine him to make sure he isn't sick. He could have an infection or parasite and your vet can run some tests to help diagnose. Try to offer him the same food that he has been eating and see if he will eat that.
