What you describe sounds VERY serious. I have babies hatched on August 20/08 that weight over 100g , one of them 177g already.

I would take it to a vet to make sure he is healthy and only malnourished. Discounting any disease, he needs to eat SOON, so assisted feeding seems to be not an option, but a necessity and if he is too weak you might have to force feed him or even "tube feed" him. I wish you the best, but first, take him to a good vet right away and take it from there. Soaking him seems a good advice he seems to be dehydrated also.

Hope this helps.
