I hope someone can answer these questions for you! I don't know how the honey works myself, just figuring folks have the experience & know how where I don't. All I know about the sugar is it reduces inflammation of prolapse tissue. Is he still eating? If he's eating I doubt he's impacted... if you can get him to eat maybe see if you can find SMALL domestically raised hornworms to feed him? I've heard they are living water balloons and tend to make poo soft...

You know Frog'sFascinated (Emily?) and her poor frog, Pogo? Her mom, the former vet tech, said she gave Pogo an enema... maybe she can give you a clue on how to do that?? My guess is though that folks are going to say to get Bonk back to the vet...
