Good luck, since Avics at small sizes sometimes have trouble molting. 2.5" should be a big enough size to decrease the risks. Anyways, I would start feeding after a week or so. She won't starve so don't worry about that.

Now, now, we all know that isn't always the case. Of course providing the most ideal conditions we can makes the odds better but things do just happen.

Sean said it, but also, it just happens. This species is very fragile at a young age.
