Thanks so much for everyone's wonderful advice! I got the little guy to eat two fuzzy mice this feeding, and my manager got him to eat two pinkies about five days ago. If we can keep up this schedule of every 3-5 days getting him to eat something he should be okay. Right? Also, since it was a common question, the day after eating two pinkies (I didn't work between asking my questions and that feeding) he weighed 57 g. I'm going to weigh him tomorrow and see how he's doing. I'll also weigh the good robust eaters to give you a sense of where he should be, as I am quite unclear as to their age. They all came in the same shipment, so they're approx the same age, and the really good eater has gotten quite big!

Oh, I somewhat off-topic question. How can you tell a male from a female? I get this question all the time, but since my store caters mostly to casual hobbyists and not breeders, and since they're all babies I never felt a pressing need to learn. But I do need to know eventually, and this is a good place to find out.

Thanks so much!
