If you can reach her, Heather Wong is a reputable breeder and member (moderator or admin, can't remember which) of this site; she authored this info sheet and would be a great resource to get in touch with if you can, as would any reputable breeder who could offer some pointers for starting a hatchling:

I have no idea why someone would suggest waiting a month with a hatchling that young...an adult, maybe, so long as they weren't losing too much weight but a baby that small? I think you were the lucky recipient of some well-intentioned but rotten advice. Like h00blah said, most any breeder with experience should be able to steer you in the right direction to getting your girl on the gravy train, lol!
