keep your hopes high. even though they start out tiny, they are tougher than you can imagine. i had a very small juvenile white's escape, only to find him 2 months later. he was very small and thin, but alive. after a LOT of TLC, he is one of my favorite white's. how he survived 2 months out of the tank, i have no idea, but i gained a new found respect for them after that.

your little one will pull through. if you don't give up, neither will he
