    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!

    There's not really a set time for how long they can go without eating. They can drastically alter their metabolisms depending on conditions. Basically, if the frog doesn't look like it's losing weight (after peeing; they can hold enough water to make them look morbidly obese) then you don't need to worry about forcefeeding. Just keep a close eye out in case anything else looks off.

    Like Lija said, this sounds like impaction. But until he poops, don't feed as this will make the problem worse. Also, soak him in lukewarm water with 3-4 drops of honey. This won't hurt anything if it happens to not be impaction, and it'll help him go to the bathroom if it is.

    Last winter, my fantasy frog didn't eat for about 2 months straight. He didn't seem to lose any weight and temps and humidity were fine. Then one day, he started up again and all was good...
