stressed and it is normal when they don't eat at first. Eventually he will take little nibbles here and there, but picking him up and forcing him near his food, etc. could only be compounding the problem. If your vet checked him out then he's probably just fine. He needs time to adjust. His tummy will lead him to his food sooner or later. Try mustard greens as well. All the babies I've dealt with have loved that stuff. Good luck and keep us posted. J
