Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I suggest start feeding him the baby food right away, but small amounts since he is so small. Bathe him a few times a day for 10-20 minutes to make sure he is hydrated. What does his stool look like? Do you have proper heat and UVB for him?
Do his eyes and head look sunken in? There is something called oxbow carnivore critical care you can get at your vet or order offline but that should be fed in small amounts as well. I wouldn't wait long to care for him by force feeding as he might not make it if you don't act right away

Good luck

I have no advice but I'm pulling for him too, I think it is terrific that you are trying to help the tiny little guy.
I agree on keeping him hydrated if you can.

I agree with every thing that Headcreeps has suggested.
I would feed him, very small amounts of babyfood (chicken) 4-5 times a day, every 2 to 3 hours if possible, I would mix some of the baby food with some pedilite & syringe feed him. Cover the whole bottom of his tank in paper towels and moisten them in the morning & mid afternoon (in addition to his soaks, he will absorb fluids through his skin from the paper towels). You don't want him sleeping on wet towels so if they are still wet in the early evening, remove them.
Most important is yo keep him hydrated.
I am pulling for him. Good luck.

Hopefully he starts eating on his own soon, keep him hydrated and force feed him a little enough to maintain his weight.
Another thing is he is so young and in a new environment, he could be very stressed. As long as his stool is looking normal and he's being bathed frequently I feel he will pull through.

Thank you.
I have quite a bit experience at pitifully young babies ... this one is maybe a week or two (with the umbilical cord area still visible, that is my estimate). I have had a few that people have brought me to shows I vend at that they got from petco/petsmart that are not thriving. some I could save, some I could not. This little one seems to have a good chance.
