Whenever I force-fed him a fuzzy last night, he was doing fine. And is still doing fine. When should I feed him next?

You could wait a day if you like or force feed him a night crawler tomorrow at feeding time. Give a variety while force feeding as it will help a lot. I would use a night crawler or two this time. Try small meals each day. Skip a day due to the pinky as it will take a while to digest.
I can't believe how long it's been since I've been on here!
Just a suggestion; if you're going to force-feed a mouse, use a pinkie, not a fuzzy. The fuzzies are more developed and have fur. This can lead to impaction or constipation in even healthy animals. I've even seen this happen in snakes. IMO it'd be safer to go with a pinkie. You get the same basic nutritional value with less risk of complication.Hope he starts eating on his own again soon! I find that leaving one cricket in the enclosure overnight will sometimes start them up once they're on their way to recovery. Something about being in the dark and quiet that makes them more likely to go for food.
