    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.
    Ok, normally I would say repeat the exact prey item and method of feeding that was being used when you got him and then work at changing later. However, unless you saw this animal eat I would not believe it. He has not eaten much. So, its kind of up to you what method to try first. Once again, the animal must eat. Read that as you see fit. Hopefully he makes life easy for you, if not feel free to PM me or another one of the experienced people on here that can walk you through what needs to happen.
