It's great that he's eating the mini-mealies. At 3 1/2" I'd stick with the minis for at least a few days, that seems pretty small to give regular size mealies to. But then again those little ones can surprise ya. I've seen two "general rules" on the size feeders to give them, one is nothing bigger than the space between their eyes and the second being nothing longer than the length of their head. Is his tail fat? As small as he is I'm doubting that it's very fat as he's too young but it shouldn't be very thin either. Also, be sure to check that he poops pretty well everyday. As he was on sand when you got him you'll need to watch for signs of impaction for a week or so to be sure that he didn't ingest too much of the sand. So long as he's eating and pooping then he'll be fine, just getting acclimated to his new surroundings. You might offer a couple of small dusted crix every 2-3 days and see if he starts to show interest in them. Keep me posted on how he's doing! (I had my first two hatchlings today, am SO thrilled!! They're so tiny and their colors are awesome, I'll get pics posted in a few days Fran
