I agree with the advise you were already given (re-quoted below), wait until next week for the normal feeding day

His normal feeding day was Thursday at Petsmart, so I am thinking he is use to Thursdays.

Right but then you went and fed him Tuesday anyways, so stick to your Tuesday feedings. I get you are super excited about your new pet but please understand the advice you are being given - offering food too often can also be stressful and lead to refusals. Just be patient.

it's okay; it happens. i think we all know what a worry-wart you are by now. ;) that was nice of you to apologize to AbsoluteApril; it takes a big person to admit they were wrong.
