    You should feed Bowser 15 minutes per feeding day, prefferedly after his lights have been out for 30 minutes - 1 hour, don't try to feed him multiple times a day, it will only stress him out more.
    Bowser needs all the energy he can get, let him sleep during the day. Bowser is an adult frog, so can be fed once, twice or three times a week.
    I feed my adult girl every wednesday and saturday, she is fed for 15 minutes and eats 4-5 prey items per feeding. Note, if Bowser doesn't eat much, you can feed him multiple times a week.
    You can feed Bowser every other day if he only eats small portions.
    But try to avoid stress as much as possible, because the last thing Bowser needs is added stress in his condition.
    Handle him as little as possible and bother him as little as possible, and he might be able to have a happy life.
    Trust me, let the doctor and his son take an imaginary rocket to the sun and forget about them, the important thing is, your saving Bower's life.

    You should try offering it at night about an hour after his lights go off. That's when my pacman gets hungry.

    This is what I would do if Bowser was in my care. First get some unflavored Pedialyte (in drugstores baby section), or similar product and mix a solution 10% Pedyalite and 90% dechlorinated tap water at 80F. Prepare the bath (in a small critter box or similar you can cover in the rare case it jumps) so it gets to frogs chin and add couple drops of honey (maybe a drop per in. SVL). Do this this evening or when frog wakes from day sleep.

    Carefully place frog in bath and let it be for 15-20 minutes. If frog poops in bath carefully move back into enclosure and place in it's water dish (80F dechlorinated tap water). This bath should perk him up a bit and then we can try to feed a frog length sized night crawler. Try first approaching from frogs side and rubbing worm on it's lips to try and incite a strike. If you get one; dust a second worm or piece the same size with CA/D3 and try again. If it gets it, we started winning this one. If not, I'll leave it up to you, to decide if trying the technique on video is the way to go. Do update thread and try feeding again tomorrow. Also, recommend get the Repta Boost because it can be used in bad shape animals by dusting lightly dusting food couple times the first week they start feeding, good luck !.
    Remember to take care of the enclosure and it will take care of your frog !​
