Default Deter and Poop Eating Question

Ugh!! My darling baby (2.5 months old) is eating his own poop (we have no other pets)!! I tried Accent - didn't really help - although he seems more to just nibble play with "it" than actually eat it. I can't tell you how much this grosses us all out. No one wants anything to do with him after this<shudder>!!!

My question is the Deter says one tablet a day for every 10 lbs. Tucker is between 2-3 lbs. Should I just give him half a tablet or is it safe enough to give the whole thing? I guess after treatment, I need to let him taste his poop to know that it tastes bad, huh?<big shudder>!!

We use a pen with a pee pad/litter box at one end and his bed and toys at the other end. Most of the time I am around to quickly remove poop, but every once in a while he does it when I'm not around to remove it in time. He bring the poop out of his box and bring it to his bed to play with/nibble. I guess crate training is an option, but other than this issue, the play pen is working so well!!

I really need this discusting habit to stop.
