 just try to go 5-7 days before each attempt...and keep weighing him weekly if he refuses, just so we can keep a check on his weight

                      | tried him again on sunday night, only with a mouse pinkie and he ate it straight away. did'nt strike but i dont think thats his way and the only reason i tried a pinkie is cuz thats the only thing he's eat since i had him. as there only small, ive just tried him with another pinkie and he again has eat it. i'm well pleased he has started eating something, but should i keep him on these 2 get him feeding regular or move him onto bigger straight away? and if so, when? |

                      | i'd try to get him more established before changing what you're feeding him. |

                      | Agreed ^ 
 You could try more than one at a time though.

                      | 2 or 3 at a time is better than every 2 days, I wouldn't feed more often than every 5. |
