Nah...no flames here!

Looks like a really pretty little baby based on what we can see in the picture. I think a hopper-sized mouse would be good. A pinky is definitely too small.

After the trauma it has been through being transported however this person transported them...handed around to strangers...carried home to your house....put into a new home eventually.....he may not eat for awhile.

Make sure your temps are stable and well controlled (don't want any burned bellies!)....and then just leave him alone for at least a week. Then try feeding again. If he refuses...give him another week of alone-time before trying again.

Good luck! And don't hesitate to share more pics and ask as many questions as you need to to get comfortable with it all.
