Congratulations! Since he is so young I would get the Nutrical as soon as possible. You need to watch him carefully for hypoglycemia signs. If he is playing hard make sure he is eating and resting enough. You may need to give him nutrical when he starts showing signs of abnormal tiredness.
I would not give him marshmallows. When I got Cali at 9 weeks the "breeder" was giving her marshmallows and told me to continue. She ended up in the ER vet with hypoglycemia and they told me to not give marshmallows it can cause more problems.
The best advice I can give is watch carefully for signs of hypoglycemia, know where the closest er vet is just in case, have nutrical on hand and make sure he is eating every few hours. He is adorable!!
