    NOsen, does your guy still have an interest in eating? Mine does, so this is my only hope. Wouldn't even know how to force feed him, but we put him in a small Kritter Keeper with lots of food and for feedings we remove the hide. Once we take the hide out, he starts to hunt. He is still missing, terribly, but I THINK there may have been a small poop, so I am still keeping my fingers crossed. Other than his usual fruit flies we added more pinheads, which in the past he really wasn't interested in, but now he's seems to go after the crix more than the flies. The x-small phoenix worms did attract him, but he was unable to eat those. I had to sit an watch him for an hour just to see him catch two pinheads, so it's a slow and sad process. I have been using extra vitamin A and made the substrate wetter since he also doesn't seem to be soaking much. At the moment he doesn't seem better or worse, but he is still trying, so I am still trying too. Keep us posted!

    Yes, I would say poop is a good sign. You never realize how exciting poop can be until you go through something like this. I am going to continue housing him in the small tank until he hopefully recovers. I think taking out the hide for an hour or so is helping with the hunting. With the hide in he pretty much just hides. But when you remove it he shows a lot of interest in eating, or at least trying to eat.

    I would definitely continue what you are doing and try to feel encouraged by the signs you've been getting since they seem positive.

    If anyone has any other suggestions, I would appreciate them.
