I didn't want to soak him due to that but I do think it helped, I didn't see if he drank though. I am not going to soak again but his humidity stays 60-75 right now.

Friday will be a full week in his enclosure and I really was thinking to wait until then so I don't screw it all up by trying too soon... I know he needs food but potentially if I try too soon and he rejects, that could make it worse. I'll try tonight if the veterans here think I should though...

potential problem is, they would always try to feed him in a separate enclosure and it was a f/t mouse fuzzy. i am going to feed him in his enclosure but I wonder if that switch will make a difference to how receptive he is. Or if I switch from a fuzzy to a hopper, even though it's more appropriAtely sized he has never seen that size.
