If you werent so far away I would drive down there and get the poor guy just to help out I am up in MD though. My corn was very little when I got him and ended up doing the pinky head thing every other day for a few weeks until he was able to take a whole one then backed it off to a once a week feeding. He didnt always take it but just stuck with it and he pulled through and is now a beautiful 4 ft snow corn
