    I've never had to do this but I've talked to people that have and here is what I've picked up.
    Look up how to tie a surgeons knot. Use unwaxed dental floss tie it off a little ways down from the belly. I'd say the distance of the width of a finger..then just clip below it..

    You will want to get food in him asap since that animal didn't have the yolk to see it through its first shed..

    I can tell you I know Heather and Tim have had to go this route.. I'd get with them in the exact method but that's the general idea..

    You should take pics and maybe vids if you have to do the dental floss thing and post up a tutorial so we have one here for when someone else is in your situation.
