I agree with everything you say, but just for FYI, but our female BP is 2.5 month old, 20.4" long at 97g; she grew about 1.5" since we got her last month.

Since he is eating pinkies, I personally would keep trying f/t pinkies; are these rat or mouse pinkies? Rat pinkies have better nutrition/calories. Since he is small and needs the nutrition, if he takes pinkies, I would keep trying every 4-5 days. If he eats, keep that up until he starts showing gains and is eating regular, and then you can try to move up in size from there and should be able to spread it out to every 5-7 days.

I would keep offering what works and not change anything yet. Our little one should be on rat fuzzies, but she still shys away from them, so we either do a small mouse or a large rat pinkie [whatever our local store has available]- something around that size.
