Poor little darling. I feel your pain. I rescued a little bitty normal male someone had on Craigslist as a cinnamon. He was over a year old and weighed only 60 grams. His owners meant well, but they had been told he only needed one pinky mouse a MONTH. He was so far malnourished, the first time I offered him a fuzzy mouse ( he was too small to eat anything bigger ) he was terrified of it.

It took me weeks to get him eating appropriately sized meals every 5 days. But, once he started, he never looked back. In the 8 months he was in may care, he grew to over 1000 grams from 60. He gained weight and size so quickly, I swear you could watch him grow. He was a delightful little snake, despite his early setbacks, and his adoptive family were thrilled to get him. At my last update, he was 1600 grams steady and spoiled rotten.

Keep working with the little guy, sometimes they can really surprise you with their resiliency.
