Well, it seems that my radix has finally developed a healthy taste for food. Up until 3 feedings ago he would only take one food item at a time and ... this item had to be delivered by airplane (ie feeding forcepts).
Three feeds ago he finished his pinky and straight away searched for more. I offered the usually ignored second offering and ... he ripped it out of the forcepts!!
He has kept this hunger going since (he even had three items the second time) .... and - the MOST amazing part - four days ago he finally discovered that the food bowl actually contains stuff worth eating .

GO J!!!!
