Mice! They taste so nice!
How many feeds has he had, what size was he fed and how much does he weigh?

It's hard to advise without a weight, and without any feeding records. I'd say hold off until you can weigh him, but most hatchling corns can manage a day-old, 1g pink with no problems.

Nautley was 4 grams when I got him/her. I went to a local mom'n'pop petstore and left a request to be told when a mouse had a litter of pinks so I could get a mess of truly newborn ones. I ended up with 10, and euthanised them by placing them in the freezer. After that, I fed my little one once every 4 or 5 days using those tiny tiny pinks and cut slices in them while still frozen to aide digestion. I also left Nautley alone until the scale read in around 7 grams.
