    Well, the abrasions on my little one are a bit better, but I'm sad to report she has not eaten anything since Thursday night! Should I begin force feeding? How do I force feed? She doesn't look like she's lost weight....
    And, I do have flukers Repti-Aid/boost on hand. Should I feed her some of that?
    many thanks.

    Bolisnide,
    Drop a cricket in to her mouth when she is shedding. Wait til she makes a 'big yawn' .... and plunk! Works like a charm.
    You can dip the cricket in the Repti-Aid/boost ?
    I fed my black eyed tree frog this way for 5 of the 7 weeks he was not eating.
    Get every thing ready first. Mine typically shed ,just, when the lights go out.
    Keep your hand near her in case she takes a leap after you drop the cricket in.
    Boggie never jumped, he just kept right on shedding.
    But I have had another take a much more surprised reaction a cricket magically appearing in his mouth.

    She looks much better!
    Good luck, Lynn
