HE ATE! *angelic trumpets blare*
So I didn't do the paper towel thing because I thought he might be getting some weird smells from it that put him off. However after the fridge thaw, I hooked up a hair dryer and dried/warmed it up on the top of his cage. He got all interested and squirmy and within a couple minutes of dangling, he struck it right out of the tongs! He actually was moving up like he smelled me so I had to raise the f/t which resulted in an almost aerial strike.
But long story short he now has a fully belly and is chilling. He probably wants more but i'm not going to push it so in 4 days I am going to feed again and will start trying to feed every 4-5 to get his weight up.
But I just want to say a huge thank you to all of the positive vibes you all have sent us. I know we aren't completely out of the woods yet but at least I know he isn't starving and now have a point of reference for his weight journal and his feeding journal.
