    Egg!

    How many times did you have to assist? If he's eating on his own, even intermittently, I think he's almost good to go. And 45 grams isn't a bad weight--I've brought home 1-month old full-size hatchlings at that weight, and I know the breeders were feeding them. I think sometimes they burn through their yolk weight pretty quick, and then they have to eat for a month or two to get back up to it.

    NOW POST PICTURES.

    no pic? , now that he has a taste for food, he'll put on weight in no time. My normal hatched 8/14 at 34g dropped to 29. assist fed a few, now eating like a champ every 3-4 days, is up to 103g
