This is a quite generic but concerning sign. Differentials are many, from gastrointestinal diseases (infection/inflammations often dietary related) to any disease that can spread systemically (causing lethargy for example) like infection, and anything that can cause pain/discomfort, or it may be that se needs to get used to the new environment. The approach must be logic, starting from offering different kind of food. A check up is needed if inappetence lasts for more than 24hours.
