how long did you let him settle in before you started working on bonding.....many people say 1-2 days minimum.....i went 4 myself.....basically just give him a variety of fruits, like apples, oranges, grapes, and such...he is probably just alittle stress and might still be kinda finicky.....i found that with my 2 girls, for the first cople weeks they were very picky on what they ate......just keep trying.....one thing i've learned that no matter how finicky they are sooner or later they will eat, ( i don't condone forcing animals to eat what they don't want, but they need to eat something) and you'll notice that after awhile that the foods they wouldn't even look at before are one of their favs later on...if you find they don't go for the glideraid, try mixing it with apple juice instead of water... the sweetness seems to be more palletable for them, then add alittle water to it after a few weeks....hope these ideas are of soem help to you...have a fine glider day
