HELP!!!

I fed mine at varying intervals, when he was younger I would feed him between 5 and 7 days apart , as in the wild they would not always be successful.
My corn went for 3 months without eating at the beginning of the year, I got him started again by feeding a live mouse, he took 5 -6 attempts to catch it then his instinct took over and he has started eating normally again.

Hey everyone, thank you for all the help and everything. Good news- Salvador ate last night! We put him in a small box with holes that the breeder gave us that already had the pinky in, which we'd washed and brained, and put the lid on the box and left the box inside his viv. Not sure when he ate because we covered the viv up with a towel, switched the light off in the room and didn't come back 'til morning. But when we checked this morning the mouse was all gone :) Maybe the move did him good. We're gonna keep him in this house now. And we're only gonna disturb him for a while to change his water, not gonna handle or anything; especially not touch him for the next 3 days whilst he digests. Temps are good too so hopefully he should be able to digest and enjoy his meal :)
When is it recommended to feed him again? The book we mentioned before said 5-10 days, so we were thinking 5 as he hasn't eaten in such a long time... is that wise?
Again thank you for all your help everyone, you kept us calm and gave us a lot of brilliant advice which we are so grateful for :D

That's brilliant! Congratulations!
 
Awesome!!!!! I'm so glad he ate at last!!!

Yes, I'd go with the 5 day intervals. That's the interval I always follow with babies who are eating one pinky per meal.

Again, congratulations!!!!!
