    He'll look great at around 900g, won't take him long to get there on a five day schedule, at his current weight a 7 day schedule is fine also.

    Great! Now here's to hoping he'll eat for me. :)
    I'll let him be for a couple more days, no handling at all. Maybe I'll even wait until Sunday when I come back from being out of town for a day before I try to feed him. Just so he's not left alone if something were to go badly while he's digesting.
    If he doesn't eat, how many days should I wait to try again? 5 days if I do the 5 day schedule? Longer, shorter? I know trying too often with a non-feeder can put them off eating altogether.
    Hopefully he'll be a cooperative-from-the-beginning anomaly! :rolleyes:

    Just stick to the schedule. If they refuse, wait til next time. A week is nothing to them.

    That's what I was thinking, thanks for confirming for me!
