Question about problem feeders....

I took pity on a poor little Amel. that seems to be in bad shape. He is only about 3-4 weeks old, and has eaten only once. He is very skinny, and doesn't seem interested in food at all.

I took the little guy in for two reasons, one because, he needed care, and my friend who owns a local herp shop said that with all of his new hatchlings he didn't really have time to dedicate to the little guy (he gave him to me free of charge), and two, because to be honest with you he is the most gorgeous Amel. that I've ever seen.

I've offered him food twice now, both times pre-killed, brained day olds, but have had no luck. He has pooped three times now, so I really don't think that impaction is an issue (he has been on paper towels for substrate his entire life).

Any advice on how to get this little fella eating would be greatly appreciated, I really don't want to lose this little guy. It would be a terrible waste.

Thanks!
