    Default Re: Help with force feeding

    Emily, try to get some royal canin critical care food or that Oxbow Animal Health | Carnivore Care
    the last one is excellent, it is like reptiboost and critical care in one.

    both available through vet, but somebody said it is also sold elsewhere in US.

    i just add to what Grif said about big prey and sick frog, sometimes even nighcrawlers are hard to digest and you need to be very careful force feeding as well and not to give too much food at once. it is like when you are sick yourself, you don't really want to eat at all, and even mentioning greasy food makes you feel even more sick. try to feed a lot and you will have frog vomiting and that leads to stomach problems. basically you are complicating situation even more.
    that is how body controls itself, it uses energy to fight whatever it is fighting and not much "energy" is left to digest simply speaking, thus feeding small amounts of highly digested food is a key.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
