Good luck with him. It sounds like he got off to a slow start unintentionally, but you're doing what you can to fix the problems and get him back on track, so that's always good.
Is there a rule of thumb for food size? Like just bigger than his body width or what? Also thank you so much for your help, pip is on his way to a full recovery
