I have some really good news.. So far, so good.

I've had no need for syringes, thank god.. He's eaten a few mealworms and two waxworms over a period of two days(Which, I must say, is great for his tiny little body.. I've been delicate on the amount fed because as mentioned by someone else, his little tummy would have shrunk a good deal). The best part is.. Remember how I mentioned that he's most likely blind, thanks to the skin that dried his eyes shut? Well, I used lubricating eye drops.. Or "Artificial tears" and his eyes OPENED. I'm so happy.. I'm hoping that the skin will get soft and wash out of his eyes. It's already thinning.

Well, I'll take a picture of his current condition to show he is at the moment, so check back.
