Darwin just laying with eyes closed

[J3nnyg]

The thread just stopped, how is Darwin?

[Madelon]

Im not sure, he hasnt moved since I got him out of his bath yesterday, but looks like the eye I can get a look at without disturbing him is mostly open. I'll bathe him again later today

He just had his second bath. He looks a little more active maybe, its hard to say, but he's still not eating at all. I rub it against his lips, what used to work, but he just keeps his mouth shut, he's also not interested in crickets, even if they climb on his face, and I even tried a pinky, which he used to love. He doesnt get annoyed and bites when I rub it in his face, he's never done that. Should I forcefeed him?

[Mentat]

...Should I forcefeed him?

Do you have the ReptaBoost?

[Madelon]

Sure do

[GrifTheGreat]

Sure do

Note that this best done with two people. One to hold the frog so it cannot back away and the other to do the force feeding. You will need to have the dose of Repta Boost ready before hand. This is also best done on the floor with layers of moist paper towels spread out for the frog to be placed on so that there is no way for it to jump from a high place and hurt itself. Lock all other pets away so no harm comes to the frog. This means dogs, cats, ect.

You will be using a plastic spoon positioned upsidedown to gently pry his mouth open. Place the spoon between the upper and lower jaw on the side of the mouth. Positioned in the middle between the hinge of the jaws and the snout. You will need to apply gentle downward pressure while sliding down towards the snout. This normaly stimulates the frog to open it's mouth. You will habe to quickly and carefully insert the seringe and squit it's contents into the frog's mouth. The frog will do the rest. You will need to do this daily until he can eat on his own.
