Feeding Question

Okay, so I just got my new baby today :) and I'm sooooooo excited!!! I've read that you are supposed to let them adapt to their environment the first 3 days or so (no handling, feeding, etc.) my question is, tomorrow will be the 5th day since he's eaten. Should I feed him tomorrow, or should I give him the 3 days to settle in and feed on the 8th day?
 
You should leave it alone for 7 days, not just 3.
And leaving alone also means don't feed, just change the water and spot clean if necessary.
 
Yes, it'll be fine for 12 days as long as it's eaten reliably up to now.

Your biggest risk is to feed it before it settles, as sorting out a regurge in a new arrival can sometimes be difficult.
