22 gram hatchling, HELP?!

I've got a hatchling BP fresh out of the egg (yesterday) that only weighs 22 grams. What size prey should I offer, and when? Anything I should watch for? I'm concerned with how tiny it is, but it's somewhat active. I'm not sure what to do as I haven't heard of BPs hatching this small, and still doing okay.

Did it absorb his yolk or not?

If not, keep him in a deli cup over the next 48 hours (to help limit his movement and get some strenght) than assist feed him using a F/T fuzzy mouse.

If he did absorb his yolk, offer a live fuzzy mouse at the same time you will offer food to his clutchmates.

It only has one surviving clutchmate, which is at 44 grams. I will try that, thank you :)
