Welcome to YT!
Scooter wouldn't eat when I first brought him home, and he's tiny, so hypoglycemia set in quickly. Because of this I was feeding him wet food mixed with water through a syringe every 3-4 hours for the first couple days.
Soon after he started eating the wet on his own, but I'd have to be near his bowl and put some on my fingers so he could lick it up.
Then we started crunching up his dry and putting it in the wet, increasing the amount of dry little more every 3-4 days.
Now he's still on mixed wet-dry, but not very much wet left!
If your furbaby is tiny, you HAVE to make sure he's getting food so that he doesn't become hypoglycemic.
Otherwise, I'd be FIRM (no other food) and keep nutri-cal or something similar on hand just in case. He won't starve himself, so eventually he should start eating.
I've heard before it's ok to 'stimulate' their appetite by putting a little cheese or yogurt on top of their kibble so that they'll eat, and slowly wean them off it.
Hopefully you can figure something out! Just make sure he's getting enough nutrients to stay healthy until he's eating all on his own!
Good luck!
