For the assist feeding like you explained, I don't think I can give you a really good answer except that for me it has depended a lot on the individual. Some I have assist fed much earlier than others just depending on how well they maintain their weight, and if they start getting weaker. It is a tough call because although some of them are alright with assist feeding, for others it is worse than just starving because it stresses them out so much. Hopefully others will chime in with their experience, but for me it just totally depends on the individual.
