7-10 day wait, then small single pinkie, no holding, low 80's, all is well........the end..LOL!
the feeding two pinkies and holding it with a big stomach bulge were definite don't do's!
DO NOT try to feed it in 3 to 4 days!!, it cannot risk another regurge, or it can easily kill it this next time. That takes a huge toll on a tiny hatchlings system. Waiting 7 to ten is MUCH better!. Then, offer it a very SMALL pinkie only. Then after 5 days, give it another small one until it has safely held down small one's for several feedings. ONLY THEN should you graduate to a slightly bigger one, not huge, slightly bigger.............
