They have a sense of time so feeding the same time everyday will start him/her looking for you and food (sometimes this takes awhile and sometimes it happens very quickly). Another thing we have found helpful is to feed the rest of the tank first so that there are chemical signals in the water. SueNami would wake up with the first taste of Cyclop-eeze and then eliminate shortly there after (only an octopus keeper would get a laugh out of watching for octo poop) but he had the most regular constitution of our octos, the others were not so punctual.
Probably the most important thing is to take time with it everyday, an hour if you have it, even if it does not seem to respond. We saw our little guy out watching us at dinner for the first time tonight. The nocturnal briareus hatchlings still don't come out until 11:30 after the lights have been off for several hours.
