I did ask about a health guarantee, and he kinda hesitated and said "yeah, I'll do two weeks." I realize now that I should have asked more questions. When I saw him I fell in love, but if I had known he wasn't an established eater or that feeders were banned here I would never have taken him.

So if I understand correctly the general consensus is that I should perfect my husbandry, leave him be for a while (how long?) And offer smaller F/T

If it was mine, I would make sure husbandry (incl. privacy) is spot on asap. Then wait a couple of days (2 to 3) then try another LIVE hopper "if" you can find another one.

Simply because, he was willing to take that before (just to weak to get it down).

Ideally, he would take another one and may have the strength to get it down. If that works, I would try another 2 to 3 feedings with hoppers before trying f/t.

Of course, that is IF you can find live ones..
